Workaround for cannot find condition fields in [Set Field Value] or [Record Insert] in ATF - Support and Troubleshooting

Workaround for cannot find condition fields in [Set Field Value] or [Record Insert] in ATF Issue There is a limit in ATF that using the Set Form Value or Record Insert test step on condition fields is not possible as ATF believes such fields are read-only.

The workaround for this limit is to skip the read-only UI validation by directly setting the value of the condition fields at the server side.

For example:

1. Create a new Test

2. Create the first step of the test and choose 'Server' ==> 'Run Server Side Script', make the step on the target table that your test works on

3. Use a script to set the 'condition' field. The following is an example of it:

(function(outputs, steps, stepResult, assertEqual) { // add test script here var testGr = new GlideRecord(" "); testGr.initialize(); testGr.setValue(" ", " "); testGr.setWorkflow(false); var newRecordSysId = testGr.insert(); var newTestGr = new GlideRecord(" "); if (newTestGr.get(newRecordSysId)) { stepResult.setOutputMessage("Successfully inserted record"); outputs.table = " "; outputs.record_id = newRecordSysId; return true; } else { stepResult.setOutputMessage("Failed to insert record"); return false; }

})(outputs, steps, stepResult, assertEqual); 4. Ensure to set mandatory fields as well in above script.

5. Create the second step and choose 'Form' ==> 'Open an Existing Record'

6. Setup the test step and make it open the record inserted by step 3 by using the reference selecting icon. Save the test step

7. Create the third step and choose 'Form' ==> 'Set Field Values'

8. Set the rest fields you need as your original plan

9. Complete the rest test steps according your requirement
