I have come to the conclusion that invoking BO Objects especially the ones that do an Update are broken. They yield incorrect results and have been forever. I couldn’t imagine a world without Custom Code you would be dead in the water for any serious customization. But even more frustrating for the…

And Haso, I haven’t come across anything that needs the “Before Image” yet. I’d like to experience this. What business object method would you suggest I use to experience this?

[image] hkeric.wci: It sends Modified Row with a RowMod “” (blank) and RowMod “U” which allows you to use conditions such as “If field changed from x to y” among other things. Was RowMod an Epicor idea? Doesn’t ADO .Net DataSets use RowState ? Can’t we use RowState now too? :thinking:

Wait there is more… If you use a condition such as if abc changed from x to y… then the next condition can’t do it anymore… Epicor will strip the RowMod “” (blank) out - by filtering it out. It’s @jgiese.wci favorite by design feature :wink:

[image] hkeric.wci: For example RcvMisc.RowMod isn’t accessible via Set Field but you can set it fine via Custom Code. When you have to use Custom Code just for RowMod or the following BO doesnt work :slight_smile: [image]

I think I do have a custom code widget to set it to U if I recall correctly :rofl:

[image] hkeric.wci: When you have to use Custom Code just for RowMod or the following BO doesnt work I don’t know what you are talking about. [image] NOT a lost cause - a function for new labor dtl with no code ERP 10 So #1, THANK YOU to @josecgomez and @Banderson …

I see we have a Update Table By Query fan :smiley: yikes :slight_smile: [image]

Yes hahaha, but it’s updating the dataset variable in the BPM, is that poor processing Haso? This was one of the first times I tried tracing and doing a widget based replication of the trace.

It works but the code it generates is definitely slow. Wish they could just fix Set Field :slight_smile: Until then I’ll keep using Custom Code (on prem).

Yeah, maybe that is the bug (design feature) that you were pointing out and that’s why I had to do the update by table widget over and over.
