SOAP API — Post a Project Discussion Message

The following code sample posts a message automatically to the project discussion for the project when the project stage for that project is changed on the project form. You can create a project form script, paste this code sample in the scripting studio editor, select After Save as the event triggering the script to run, and main as the entrance function.

Project discussion message posted automatically as a result of changing the project stage.

          function main(type) {    
    if (type == 'edit') {    
        try {
            var current_stage_id = NSOA.form.getOldRecord().project_stageid;
            var new_stage_id = NSOA.form.getValue('project_stage_id');
            if ("" + current_stage_id == "" + new_stage_id) {
                return;
            }
            var stage_name = (new NSOA.record.oaProjectstage(new_stage_id)).name;
            var msg = new NSOA.record.oaThreadedMessage();
            msg.table_name = "project";
            msg.record_id = NSOA.form.getValue('id');
            msg.content = "Project stage has been updated to: " + stage_name;

            NSOA.wsapi.add([msg]);
        }
        catch(err) {
            NSOA.meta.log('error', err.message);
        } 
    }
