AL/Filter are firing on a record, an escalation runs the if action if it finds records to modify, only fires the else if there 'is no record' that matches it's qual...and because you aren't dealing with any record, it doesn't make sense to be able to set a value on that record that doesn't exist, right?

You can still do a set fields to a regular field on a Filter or Active Link Else Action correct? I wonder why not an escalation?

Um... Nevermind. KM-000000010546 When you create an escalation with an Else action to Notify or Set fields, you will only see a list of display-only fields. This is as designed: In escalations, because Else actions are executed when no requests are found, Else actions cannot be used to modify a request. You won't be able to do a set fields action to a regular field through the Else action of an escalation; you can, however, set a regular field through the If Action of an escalation. --- John J.

Hello Listers, ARS 7.1 Patch 4 ARAdmin 7.1 patch6 & patch 8 MS SQL 2005 I came across an issue with the Set Fields action on the Else tab of an escalation. Using Current Transaction for the Server and Read value from. When I try to select a field to set I only see a few fields from the form. In this specific form it only shows the columns of a table field on the form. I don't think it is a permissions problem as all fields on this test form are Public. Even core fields will not appear in the set fields dropdown list in the Else action tab. They all show in the If action tab. Is this a bug? I looked in the List archive but couldn't find anything referring to it. Thanks, --- John J.
