HCM P&F: Check and Send won't update back end fields?

45 Views

Hi All,

Here is my issue: I have a field that is not editable on the screen - we manipulate it using a generic service that is called when the user presses a button.

Of course, as we know, all services are called every time 1 service is called, so it ALSO gets called at check and send.

This would be fine, except P&F appears to not actually change the field value at check and send.

So for instance - I click the button and it puts a value of 1.05 in the field. Great - works fine.

If I don't click the button and instead only click check & send - I can see in debugger that it is doing the calculation and putting the correct value in the service_datasets table, but when the form loads the value is not updated on the screen and it is not passed to the next step.

Should check and send manipulate that value? If not, is there a way to force the user event to be called? Sadly, I can't set the field as required, because the required check passes before P&F ignores the new value...

Alternatively, I suppose if there were a way to know the difference between check & send and a user event in the code, that would be good enough.
