Description

current is an object that stores the current record's fields and values; new/modified values. A script can change a field's value name many times, current will store the most recent value. For example:

if (previous.priority == current.priority){

return;

}

previous is an object that stores the record's fields and values before any changes were made; the original values when the form loaded. Reference this object using previous.<field_name>. For example:

if(previous.priority == 1){

//logic here

}

IMPORTANT

The previous object is not available in a Async Business Rules.
