How to revert a field back to its previous value

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by UserRecord 54
Dear All,
 
I have added two fields in PO line - Status(Enum) and Rejected(Checkbox), If I reject the line, its status should change to Rejected, however, If I later uncheck the Rejected checkbox, the status to change to its previous value(Submitted, approved, canceled.. etc). 
I can achieve the first condition, however, I cannot revert the status using xrec.
 
Any suggestion?
 
Thank you in advance!

    Hi
    You could save the previous state in a different field. You will always have the previous state there to revert if necessary.

    Hi,
     
    In that case you will have to create an additional field like status.
     
    OnValidate of Rejected, you need to save status value to New Field and then reset the Status field.

    Hi,
     
    You must create another field to save the last value of enum when you reject the line !

    Because there is no concept of caching, as mentioned by several experts above, you must use another field to save this value for restoration.
     
    Hope this helps as well.
    Thanks.

    Another way is to enable the Change log, find the old value of this field in the code, and update it to your table.
