How to stop the "Updated time" from being updated.

[dfry123]

Hello,

I am wondering if there is a way to stop the updating time and updated by from being updated when using import sets. I know you can use "autoSysFields(false);" when using scripts but it doesnt seem to be working for import sets.

Any help will be appriciated!

Thank You!

Hi Darrell - are you running an import set script, locating an existing record and updating it?

GlideRecord.autoSysFields(false) should work for that case.

Thanks! Where would I put that though? Since I am using a transform map with a data source?

On the transform map form, there's a checkbox "run script".   Check the box and an input box will open up in which you can enter code that will run for every record in the import set.   You can do any kind of server side processing necessary in there.   Seems like maybe you have some field mappings that you're coalescing on, and those records are being updated.   Well, instead of that, just write a GlideRecord query in the script, and if you find the record existing, use the autoSysFields function to suppress the sys field updates.

Awesome this worked for me.
