Google Apps Script Conditional If/Else If Statemen

Question

I've got this script below but it keeps returning the incorrect information. For instance, even though the "urgency" may equal "medium", it returns the "critical" result.

var initialcontact;
var row = sheet.getActiveRange().getRowIndex();
var urgency = sheet.getRange(row, getColIndexByName("Urgency")).getValue();
if (urgency = "Critical") {initialcontact = "1 hour";}
else if (urgency = "High") {initialcontact = "4 hours";}
else if (urgency = "Medium") {initialcontact = "1 day";}
else if (urgency = "Low") {initialcontact = "3 days";}

Answer 1

You should use == for comparing , not =

if (urgency == "Critical")

and so on..
