Hi, we just started using the work queue menu instead of the usual start/end activity in MES, and there doesn’t seem to be any native way to put a labor note when you end an active work in there.
I just made a bpm to load a date from a different table into the field Date01 of a WorkQueue in GetOpsInResourceGroup so that it can show up in the current work grid, and it worked! So now I thought I could also use the shortChar01 field of WorkQueue for a user to input their labor note and then in a bpm take that shortchar01 note and copy it into the labornote of labordtl. Now it seems like all of this would work well in theory except for the wall I just hit. It seems like ShortChar01 can be edited in the grid of most views in WorkQueue, currentwork and expectedwork are just fine, but only in ActiveWork, the one view I actually need the user to input their note before ending activity, all the ud fields are greyed out and non editable, checkbox01, date01, shortchar01 etc. In the grid object all these column are uncheck for readonly and I tried using the extended properties wizard to force ShortChar01 to be enabled and not readonly but no changes. I was wondering why all these columns were readonly only in the active work view and if there is some way to unlock them.
Alternatively if you guys have some suggestions on how I could proceed differently to implement adding note on work being closed in work queue that would also be welcomed.
Thank you
