Not sure there’s a way around that, short of programming BPMs to un-engineer your jobs, save the changes, and then re-engineer/re-release (depending original status of the job). Unless you are ok with allow changes to engineered jobs, then you can change that setting in Company Configuration (Modules > Production > Job card).
Other option could be to store these comments in a UD table that stores the Job Num and this comment that you’re trying to save. Of course, that’s not going to be the same as the job header comment field, but you could then also add this field to the JobEntry application.
I got it working finally. The rowmod was the key, but also I was able to send a jobhead.engineered = false which allowed me to save but because that’s not an eligible field for updating in the BAQ leaves the status alone on the jobhead record.
For future me (and anyone else that may find this useful)
I have been working on trying to add and remove records from my grid using events, this has stumped me for around a month I was hoping someone would be able to help me out as it does not seem to be an intuitive task.
This is a great tutorial but I have run into a snag - my UBAQ has a parameter. When I load the grid, I now get the parameter fly-out. Once I get past this, the update seems to work fine. I’m thinking it has to do with the Provider Model but there is only a Where Clause area, no Parameter.
Refactor your UBAQ to not use parameters, upgrade to 2026.1, or play with loading the data using an event since the baq event widget lets you pass silent parameters.
The Ubaq is setup and works fine. I have made a panel card grid that uses the Ubaq, this is set to editable. The dataview is also setup and refers to the Ubaq. The column that needs to be updated (QuoteHed_QuoteComment) is also set to editable. The event for saving has been made using your instructions. When opening the dashboard however, I can’t select the column/type in the field that needs to be updated.
This worked great to create the custom Part layer and update an existing row in the UBAQ, which is a child UD03 record to the Part. Thank you!
Now the issue. I can’t get the layer to add a new UD03 record. Key1 is PartNum and Key5 is a sequence. I have an event that does fire when I click the new (+) on the grid, but then no empty row is available to update. Depending on how I set it up the grid does flow to the bottom, like it thought there would be an empty row, but it isn’t there.
Does anyone have instructions on setting up the new record for a UBAQ DataView.
