This statement is false. BeanShell rules in IdentityIQ do not universally have to produce a meaningful output. A rule’s expected return behavior depends on the rule type and the context in which the rule is executed. Some rules are designed to return a Boolean, String, Map, ProvisioningPlan, Identity, or another object. Other rules perform side effects, such as modifying a plan, transforming values, logging, altering an object, or executing validation logic, and may return null or no useful result. The Word bank contains a related but different rule-output concept: a BeanShell rule does not always need to return an object derived from sailpoint.object.SailPointObject; it may return several other object types or null. The proposed statement is even broader and still incorrect because IdentityIQ rule output is rule-type dependent, not mandatory in a generic sense.
