Behavior to limit character length and value in a custom text field

[Scott Federman]

Hey all, 

I'm sure this is pretty easy but I'm pretty clueless with scripting. Could someone help me with a behavior that would only allow 2 characters and values of 0-25? Custom Field ID is 11850.

Hi Nic,

I actually solved the issue. It was there all along. The Workflow transition has a post functions. One of the post functions is Update Custom Field. The variable to use is %%ADD_CURRENT_USER%%

I was using  CURRENT_USER which would replace the value in the field. I tested the transition and it works.

 Thanks

Excellent, I didn't know that had been added to the plugin - I've always known of %%CURRENT_USER%%, that's been there for years, but it's good to see that. Thanks for the update!

You need a post-function that can get the current list, append a new user based on current user and then update with the new list (what you're using now simply sets the value, which overwrites the list).  

Although I've done this with my own plugins and the script runner, I don't think there are plugins that can provide this for Cloud
