Clarity

I am trying to create a process which lock an attribute of the parent or grandparent object if the conditions are met.

Where would I find the instruction for getting parent object key. Browsed the documentation and searched the community.

Some indication is that the parent child link to be used in a process has be created in the GUI and the hierarchy of objects in the system is not used. The option being heavy gel.

How to lock the attribute of parent/grandparent object with a process?

Table: BPM_RUN_OBJECTS

Field: OBJECT_TYPE_CODE

Check the below:

Yep. I'm thinking, 'object_type_code' from 'bpm_run_objects' would help in the below steps..

What do you think?

Hi,

Do you think doing something like this would help?

1. Create a process with the required start condition on your sub-object

2. Query the 'odf_objects' table to get the 'parent_object_code'

3. Depending on which parent object it is, trigger another Process (connected to the master object and with a system action), to lock an attribute on that object.

Isn't this similar to the below?

Thank you guys. My first preference would be to do it with one process in the GUI. Multiple process, other workarounds and gel come after that.

Are you saying this is not the answer

but I have to look to the database. Not very non-techie friendly.

That turned out to be the answer. Simple.
