Re: Esclation to update all of my people records
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 frederick.w.gro...@xo.com wrote: LJ, You beat me to saying that -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Longwing, Lj Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 8:13 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Esclation to update all of my people records ** Howard, Filters DO fire when doing a Mod-Allthere 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: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Howard Richter Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 7:21 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Esclation to update all of my people records ** Good evening all, As I get older I forget the simple things.

Esclation to update all of my people records

Re: Esclation to update all of my people records
If you are doing this in bulk, maybe a simple staging form will do and create filter to push the values into the fields in question and then your filter should fire.
