 (function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_email');

//gr.newRecord();

gr.addQuery('direct','current.direct');
gr.addQuery('copied','current.copied');
gr.query();
while(gr.next()) 
{
 gr.blind_copied = current.direct +', '+ current.copied;
 gr.update();
}


  })(current, previous);

Solution

  • To do this, make sure to use a before business rule on insert and update for the sys_email table. You are able to alter the fields in the current record before it is inserted.

    (function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
    
        // create variables for use from current record
        var to = current.direct;
        var cc = current.copied;
        var bcc += to + '; ' + cc;
    
        // update the current record
        current.direct = '';
        current.copied = '';
        current.blind_copied = bcc;
    
    })(current, previous);
