Change Initial Value on Catt Task

[Former Member]

I have a Task that I modified in PFTC.  It had an initial value on the _Wi_Object_ID container element.   I changed the BOR Object and then changed it back and the initial value is gone.  Now it says that the element is not changeable.

Any thoughts on how to put an initial value back on the _Wi_Object_ID container element?

Hi Tim

You can try creating a new variable of the same business object and use it in the bindings from WF to Task and from task to method instead of _WI_OBJECT_ID..... Not sure how you managed to get an inital value in this variable in the first place 🙂 ..System does not allows to change it in any way!

OK, here is some more info.

The task was originally created in 4.6c and we are now upgraded to ECC 6.  Went back to a 4.6c system and there is a button "Initial Values" that popped up a screen that allows you to assign an initial value and sure enough it was editable.

The 4.6c popup looks like this

Any thoughts on where do do this on ECC6?

Thanks

Hi Tim

All that i know for populating the initial value is the tab of "Initial Value" when you double click the element in the container....but that is not helping you.

Hi Tim,

Certain changes are noted in this way - the Task-Object binding works like this, once you touch it the task editor no longer updates it.

The path of least resistance is just to recreate the task.

Hi Mike

Yeah, that is what I was thinking, but even creating a new task the Initial Value tab has all the fields uneditable.  I must be missing something, just can't figure out what......

Hmm, perhaps something to do with the object? If you create a task for a different object, is it changeable? If so then object. Is it properly generated (obvious question I know)?

Also maybe check the BOR object status - released /  implemented.

Hi Mike

No, it seems that every object that I try it has the initial value tab uneditable.  In fact trying to change to edit mode on the element you get an message that says "you must not change the element/container". 

However, some existing tasks definitely have an initial value filled in.  Must be some other way to set it or edit the task.......
