Similar to the way in which the property "has_change_pending" (Boolean) allows us to see whether a part has change pending due to inclusion in an Express ECO/ECN, etc. is there a way to also see if a particular PR is addressed in a given ECR/ Express ECO? A check box in the TOC table view is a great way to tell if a PR has been addressed in a Change order or not, so that all Pending PRs will be addressed as part of changes and moved to Closed state
Hello,
While there's nothing out-of-the-box to achieve this functionality, you could add a new Boolean property to the PR ItemType to store whether it is attached to an ECR. You could then add an onAfterAdd Server Event to the ECR PR ItemType to update this boolean value on the related PR, so you know that it is part of a change process.
The standard has_change_pending flag is updated by the PE_update_has_change_pending server method, so you can use that method as a basis for writing your own server event.

Dear Christopher,
Thanks for the response! However I am not really a coder, and I don't I am capable of really understanding what I need to modify in that method to accommodate for PRs instead. Would it be possible in any way to guide me on how exactly to write that method? Would greatly appreciate the help!
Regards
Sachin
Also, Is there a way to, say have a tab in the PR, where all the connected ECOs are listed? Not sure how to go about this, but would there be some way to do this using the Query Builder tool? (Am trying to learn how to use that tool at the moment)
