Trigger Client Method on Relationship Replace

Gary Klosak
Offline

I have a client method defined to be triggered on an OnInsertRow event for the Part BOM relationship type. This method is not triggered when the user performs a Part BOM replace. The most likely reason for this is, when handling the replace Innovator is just doing an update of the Part BOM item.

The Part BOM itemtype definition only allows OnBeforeNew, OnAfterNew, OnNew and OnShowItem client events. But these events are not triggered when doing a Part BOM replace.

Is there any way to trigger a client method when doing a Part BOM replace?

    HI Gary,

    interesting discovery! I wasn´t aware of this behavior of 'replace'.

    The answer depends of what you want to achieve with your Method. Is an onAfterUpdate server event not an option? It at least can update something in your relationships when user click save. Or maybe use Properties events?

    There is the alternative client options with onFormPopular Form events to evaluate changes inside relationships, but this option also requires the "Save" by the user.

    If nothing works, even a custom "Replace" button is an option. But this is just a loose collection. It depends on your use case.
