Javascript Buttons Broken

Hello!

We have made the jump to lightning. Our Javascript buttons are now unavailable and the button conversion app says we must manually convert them (I have no idea where to begin with this).

Attached is the button code that we would like to convert to work in lightning.

Essentially the button switched record type from one to another without hitting the edit screen.

I look forward to your expert responses.

Kind regards,

Hi Administrator S,

Please find below steps:
1. Create Lightning component which implements 'force:hasRecordId' and define record id attribute. 
2. You can fetch the case record from Apex method in Init Method of lightning component using recordId attribute.
3. If it is closed throw an error otherwise call an another apex method which simply updates the recordId.
4. Once the response status is success then reload the page.

Hope above steps helps.

Cheers,

Hi Administrator,

Greetings to you!

Please try the below code, I have tested in my org and it is working fine. Kindly modify the code as per your requirement.

Apex: 
public class UpdateRecordTypeC {
    
    @AuraEnabled
    public static void updateRT(String rid) {
        Case a = [SELECT Id,RecordTypeId FROM Case WHERE Id = :rid];
        a.RecordTypeId = '0127F000000ykIaQAI'; //Please query the record type instead of hardcoding it
        update a;
    }
}

Component: 
<aura:component controller="UpdateRecordTypeC"
                implements="force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId,forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes,force:lightningQuickAction" access="global" >
	
    <lightning:button label="Update Record Type" onclick="{!c.doUpdateRecordType}"/>
</aura:component>

Controller: 
({
    doUpdateRecordType : function(component, event, helper) {
        var r = component.get('v.recordId');
        console.log('r -> ' + r);
        var action = component.get('c.updateRT');
        action.setParams({rid : r});
        action.setCallback(this, function(response) {
            var state = response.getState();
            if (state === "SUCCESS") {
                // Do something
            }
        });
        $A.enqueueAction(action);
    }
})

Add this component to record page. Please refer to the below link which might help you further.
