Mass Update - Released Check

Hi all! I created a BPM for JobEntry.Update to update a couple fields if/when a job is released, so we can track both the original release date (only once if its blank), as well as the latest release date.

I need to also do this on JobStatus.MassUpdate, as our users tend to release jobs en masse from that screen, but my method does not work the same for JobStatus as it does for JobEntry. What can I check within that method to confirm a release is happening?

Below is my condition for the pre-processing method for JobStatus.MassUpdate:

You may want to consider moving this over to a Data Directive instead of a BPM.

A BPM will only run against a specific method and, like you’re seeing, different screen use different methods. BUT if this is something you ALWAYS want to apply, no matter where the change happens, you can use a Data Directive instead.

So, no matter what “method” is called, if JobHead.Released is set to True… do the thing.

Beautiful! I’ve tried to stay away from data directives, so I didn’t even think of that. Will give it a try and report back, thanks!

Worked like a charm! Thanks!
