Hello , Filters on modify all will also trigger the underlying filter written on modify condition.
If you have an very distinct search possible on those records ,and the fields you are trying to update are not display only then you can try updating the records using an simple sql procedure. directly run this against the db and this will not fire the filters on the people form if these are new fields you are trying to update. regards amit On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 6:46 PM, Grooms, Frederick W < [email protected]> wrote: > LJ, You beat me to saying that > > -----Original Message----- > From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto: > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Longwing, Lj > Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 8:13 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Esclation to update all of my people records > > ** > Howard, > Filters DO fire when doing a Mod-All....there is no way to modify a record > that doesn't cause the filters to fire (other than special api > tricks)....it's AL's that don't fire on Mod-All... > > -----Original Message----- > From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto: > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Howard Richter > Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 7:21 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Esclation to update all of my people records > > ** > Good evening all, > > As I get older I forget the simple things. > > I created a filter to update a hidden field on the people form with a > combination of company/department/organization, for a license tracker I am > evaluating. > > Well I thought (again old age) that if I did a modify all from the user > tool the filter would fire.
