UD field on JobOper updatable w/o Unengineering/Engineering job?

We’re wanting to place a UD field at the JobOper level, to be used in an updatable dashboard for jobs that are engineered/released/scheduled. This checkbox will then be used as a filter to drop the job off the dashboard. It appears that once the job is engineered/released/scheduled you can’t update a joboper UD field without unengineering the job first, correct?

Any alternatives anyone can suggest?

yes, use one of UD table to create record for each job Oper record at added status, use UD Key Company, Job Num and OpSeq,OpID then make one or more of non key fields updatable, (up to you) then link it to the JobOper table via these keys in your UpBAQ/UpDashboard, thereby you do not need to UnEngineer/UnRelease your jobs to update JobOper Record, alternatively, you can alter the updatable BAQ BPM to bypass the engineering flag to do this JobOper update then engineer/release back.

That looks to be the ticket–thank you, I’ll give this a try!
