READ PROTECT in BO Update Rules

[PointsWell]

When READ PROTECT is used in conjunction with other steps there are unexpected outcomes.

I tried to use READ PROTECT after a field value is set e.g.

Code: Select all

BO.ps_Attribute = BO.ps_AnotherAttribute.SomethingElse
READ PROTECT BO.ps_Attribute FROM ALL EXCEPT SYSTEM

Logged Here viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9602

In this instance it is setting the READ PROTECT before it tries to evaluate

In another instance I was trying to ensure that a field was UNDEFINED and then locked.

Code: Select all

If BO.ps_Attribute WAS CHANGED TO 'A Value' THEN 
BO.ps_OtherAttribute=UNDEFINED
READ PROTECT BO.ps_OtherAttribute FROM ALL EXCEPT SYSTEM

In this case it just ignored the READ PROTECT completely.

DO NOT use protection rules in conjunction with other rules. This will not work
