Dear Community,
Has anybody succeeded in crating record producer that can create Change Blackout Schedule automatically after approval. I am not a developer and looking for simple practical guidelines, if that is possible, of course.
Many thanks!
Kind regards,
Elitsa

Hi @Elitsa
Greetings!!
We had a similar requirement from our client, but to be honest, it turned out to be quite complex.
In short, here’s what we did:
-
We created a Record Producer to capture high-level details and made the schedule name available as a variable on the form.
-
The user was then asked to provide the necessary details through that form.
-
Once submitted, the user had to use another Record Producer, where we referenced the first-created schedule as the parent record.
-
In that second form, the user was asked to enter the schedule entries—start time, end time, and other relevant details.
-
We created multiple variables and mapped them on the backend accordingly.
It may look simple on the surface, but it was quite involved behind the scenes.
