Hi All,
We would like to utilise the 'Checklist' functionality - currently on Jakarta.
This works a treat apart from the copious amounts of 'work notes' that a new checklist adds - see picture below:
I want to remove the 'Checklist item added:' from the work notes. These entires are stored between the sys_audit, sys_history_line and sys_journal_field tables.
I have added a new BR, before insert, on the sys_journal_field table - which works fine, however the entries are still going to the sys_audit and sys_history_line tables so i am still seeing these in my activities.
Turns out the system is configured to ignore any BR's on 'insert' for the sys_audit' table (and I assume the sys_history_line table) as the BR's I have configured are not running at all.
Can anyone help find a solution for this plse?
Cheers Carl.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I wouldn't put a BR on sys_journal_field either. The work notes are generated from the BR referenced below, so I would recommend to stop them at the source. You can de-activate this BR or edit it to only write certain work notes, etc.

@Shane J Thank you. quick question please why adding the new field on the Task Table?
should the ACL be on the Task table to prevent write?

I added the new field so that what the Checklist was doing in Work Notes was instead captured in an alternate Journal field. I suppose you could just cut that out completely.
The new field I created I put on the Task table to better future proof it, in case the Checklist was used in any extension of Task. Since I only wanted the BR to update the field, I put the write ACL in (on the Task table), and limited it to the admin Role.
