Hi all- I wanted to get feedback on something I remember learning way back in a Remedy class (pre-BMC) in Pleasanton to make sure that I am remembering correctly. I seem to recall that I was told that the best practice when writing the qualification for a Set Fields action from another form that you should use the other form's field before the operator and the current form's field after the operator like this: 'DEPTID' = $DeptID-New$
I thought that this was either more efficient or provided more predictable results (or maybe both). Does anyone else follow this convention? I have run across several instances in some custom workflow where that is reversed and I see $DeptID-New$ = 'DEPTID' which just feels wrong to me. Below is more detail to clarify my examples. Form A: field DeptID-New Form B: field DEPTID There is a filter on form A that does a set fields which reads its value from form B. I believe the proper syntax if I want to match the department ID fields between the forms is this: 'DEPTID' = $DeptID-New$ >From there the set fields action can copy values from the matching record in >form B into the fields of form A.
