Scripting

Some tables are set Read-Only in the data-dictionary? Is this true? It appears that the data dictionary for this table IM_ItemCost is read-only to scripts !#$$%@!. I found a relevant posting in the Community Forums on this table and issue but for number fields. In the following post Natasha (Sage Engineer) indicates that the numerical fields are read-only, but I am seeing that the string fields are as well. Can someone suggest a work around?

Post the community link please

How hard is it to go into the dictionary and change the setting?

@JeffSchwenk I thought I had oops. @WayneSchulz Thanks @LouisAraiza That's the kind of work-around I'm looking to find from someone.

The problem with busting open the DD is that (I believe) it gets reset everytime you do an install. Alnoor, can you confirm?

I remember this use to happen in previous versions and Slade showed me how to go into the file using DFDM and change the setting things would work. I did this on a Work Order file for Jeff a long time ago. Not sure which file it is now and if you can still use DFDM.

It turns out that the problem was that I had to set a transaction date before the UDF could be updated. Problem solved.
