I was commenting on the Submitter Mode functionality ... from the 6.3 docs Configuring AR System Guide p136 Submitter Mode Defines the conditions under which submitters can modify the requests they initially submit (that is, where their names are in the Submitter field). Choose one of the following options: - Locked-Users can modify requests they submit without a write license. This does not apply to users with a Restricted Read license who cannot modify requests under any circumstances. In the locked submitter mode, after the entry is submitted, the value in the Submitter field cannot be changed. - Changeable (the default)-Users must have a write license to modify requests. Note: Changes to the Submitter Mode settings do not take effect until the server is stopped and restarted. I believe the default on Remedy forms (no matter how the Submitter-Mode is set) is that the Submitter field is Read-Only when Displaying a record

Each of us read your response differently. I get in trouble when I assume. Could you clarify your response for me?

Submitter mode Locked means that even if the Submitter has a Read License they will be able to update the record (the non system fields of course) where they are the submitter not that they can change the Submitter field.

You could also run some sample logging and look for pushes to that field.

Good Morning Listers, We have an existing system operating with the Submitter Mode set to Changeable. This system has around 750 forms with a mix of Remedy and home grown applications. We need to change submitter mode to Locked so we can host another custom application which must run in Submitter Mode Locked. I have 3 questions! 1. Is there any way, other than ones that require "brute force", to determine if the original system has workflow that modifies the submitter field? I have set the development box to Submitter Mode locked and tried some very limited record modification, but I don't have any testing resources available. Here's what I've tried so far on our dev system (Remedy 6.3; MS SQL Server): * Analyzed Advanced search results on the object_search_details form. The selection criteria was ('Item Details' LIKE "%Submitter%") AND NOT('Item Details' LIKE "%1 = 0%"). I haven't seen a problem in resulting (100 or so) records. * I've also checked the Submitter field #2 for other names it may have. 2. Are there any "gotchas" I should know about that might cause us problems if/when I change the production system? 3. Is it safe to assume that our Remedy/BMC applications will NOT have workflow that writes to the Submitter form? I would appreciate any words of wisdom you might have for me.
