Update read only fields

Posted on by 1,942

Hi all,

Is there any way to update inactive records without changing the status of the records.

I have plugin code which will trigger on update of a field, there are some inactive records where i want to update without changing the status of the records.

    Your plugin will be able to update the inactive record without setting it to active first - this limitation is only for Workflows. There are a few system entities (such as quote) that can't be updated once closed - but must can be.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Vighnesh

    The only way to this work is (with plugin):

    . Activate the record

    . Update what you want

    . Inactive the record again
