https://www.aras.com/community/f/development/55461/claiming-an-item-vs-locking-an-itemHi, Is there anyway to find out if an item is just Claimed OR whether it is Locked by a user. Even if an item is claimed, the is_locked becomes True . So it is not possible to differentiate between them.

The lock terms in the data model and API are leftovers from earlier naming.</p> <p>The longer answer:</p> <p>For many years the Innovator UI had separate &ldquo;edit&rdquo;, &ldquo;lock&rdquo;, &ldquo;unlock&rdquo;, and &ldquo;save and unlock&rdquo; actions for items. The user experience was simplified in v12 to replace the explicit locking/unlocking with claiming. </p> <p>This blog post is old, but the claiming vs. locking explanation still holds true:&nbsp;<a href="https://aras.com/en/blog/aras-innovator-12-ui-updates">aras.com/.../aras-innovator-12-ui-updates</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
