Hmmm… I copied my Task’s (working) “Sync Details” Button (including the script, verbatim) as a “Sync Details” Rule (triggered by the “Details” field changing) and tested it by editing the Details field in a Task entity: the Rule shows as having run successfully (under Activity) but the effect didn’t…

Actually no I don’t see any output in the console, even when I run the script via the button. Yes it’s the same exact script: copied & pasted from button to rule just now.

I’m not a sw engineer, but these lines seem a bit funny to me… [image] masp: if (child_key == "type" && child == "entity") is_entity = true if (typeof child === "object") { if (is_entity && child_key == "attrs") { Given that is_entity is only true when child_key == "type" then I can…

Seems fair: this is pretty old code now so I’ll have to revisit it at some point: but it does work, as a button: just not as a rule.

I’d suggest turning on the logging and seeing what you can deduce from the console logging.

I’m not seeing any logging output: it’s as if the script isn’t getting run. BTW this script/automation is a long-standing workaround for the fact that entity names aren’t included in the search index: is a fix for that on the roadmap? (eg. if I include “created a new [EC2] instance” (where [EC2] is…

[image] masp: I’m not seeing any logging output You will see console output only if run as a button. Otherwise, the log output will appear in the activity tab of the automation rule, after it has run. [image] masp: entity names aren’t included in the search index We have a feature for…

How odd: I’m not seeing any activity today: even though I’ve tried editing the ‘Details’ field in a task a couple of times.

Do you have access to my account btw? If so do feel free to explore: it’s the “Sync Details” rule (of Task) that’s not working: which is a verbatim copy of the “Sync Details” button (of Task) that works.

We don’t get access to users’ workspaces unless explicitly granted. If you wanted me to dig into it, you can invite me (ideally as an admin): chris@fibery.io

BTW, I have split out into a new topic thread to avoid polluting the original
