How to set a field only on insert and still trigger a Business Rule on Transform Script ?

Hi everyone,

I have a requirement involving a Transform Map where I need to set a field value based on whether a record is inserted or updated.

Here’s the scenario: I’m loading incident data from Excel. The file can contain both existing and new incident records. If the incident already exists, I don’t want to change anything. But if it’s a new record, I need to set a custom resync field to “Yes”, which should trigger a Business Rule to pull data from an external API.

The issue is that the field value is not being set reliably during the transform.

If I set it using a field map script, the value updates, but the Business Rule that depends on it does not trigger as expected.

Has anyone faced a similar situation? What would be the best practice to conditionally set a field during transform while ensuring the related Business Rule executes properly?

Thanks in advance!
