PROTECT and SAVE

MrGrumpier

myFirstAttempt

I have a BO:Tasks with various fields
+ taskStatus text 'OPEN','CLOSED'
+ taskOpen timestamp Default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
+ taskClosed timestamp
+ taskTime duration

on Main form:
my1stRULE to: automatically populate taskClosed and taskTime when taskStatus WAS CHANGED TO 'CLOSED' worked OK until I added

my2ndRule "protect Form at Close"
IF Tasks.taskStatus='Closed' THEN PROTECT Tasks FROM ALL

FAILS to [SAVE] ERROR:"Access to business object HDtasks is denied for Administrator"

I have tried altering the advanced rule settings with no effect!

I can generate a Query with a CLOSE icon/Process setting and Protect Tasks from all EXCEPT SYSTEM, but I would rather use form's SAVE button, pls

nb. I need WRITE Protection only, to allow everyone to see but not change any Task field

MrGrumpier

added a 'Operation invoked from the form' called 'CloseTask' which only shows when taskStatus='Open', changed the form field to HTML <<Tasks.taskStatus>> to prevent update.

Process 'CloseTask': changes field to Closed and sets closing date and duration.

Rule: when Closed PROTECT Tasks FROM ALL EXCEPT System

in other words a massive BODGE

Do you still have a question?
