Record is being aborted on update but there is no abort BR on the same table. How it is possible?

Record is being aborted on update but there is no abort BR on the same table. But there is BR on different table which is not linked to the table. How it is possible?

Hi @Anil Nemmikanti ,

A record update can be aborted even if no abort Business Rule exists on that table because:

- Indirect update:

A script (Business Rule, Script Include, Flow, etc.) on your table updates another table that does have an abort (setAbortAction(true)), and that abort propagates back to your transaction.

- Parent table rule:

Your table extends another table (like task, cmdb_ci, etc.) that has an abort rule.

- Return false:

A before Business Rule returns false, which also aborts.

- Flow or cross-scope error:

A synchronous Flow or scoped script fails, stopping the transaction.

- To find the cause:

Use Business Rule Debugger or Script Tracer to see which script sets setAbortAction(true) during your update.

Hi @Nawal Singh , 

1. I checked all the BRs they are not calling any script includes if any they are OOTB which are read-only.

2. I checked the parent table BR's as well, but nothing is there.

3. No associated flows.

4. Enabled the script debugger as well but it didn't capture anything apart from Save button code.

5. Checked all the client scripts and UI policies as well.

I just want to high light one thing. There is one BR which is on different table not associated with any current table is causing the issue as per my understanding. Because the abort error message coming from that BR.

Appreciate your time. Thanks

Hi @Anil Nemmikanti ,

Please review the BR that showing the error message- any how it will impacting your updates

@Anil Nemmikanti 

may be your table is a child table of that other table on which BR is written.

Did you check that?
