Data Management Update Job - Setting field with values from same record

[AndyH_wood]

Hi folks,

Has anyone used / know of Data Management syntax to put in an existing field on the same record as the new value for an update ?? e.g. As illustrated, I tried "Javascript:current......"  but no luck.

I was trying to avoid the use of pure scripting as DM is a lot more structured for re-use and rollbacks. I was just hoping that there is a hidden syntax or workaround that didn't make it to the documentation.

Grateful for any inroads on this (or a definite 'No' would suffice) 

Andy

Hi @AndyH_wood ,

no it's not supported 

update job is only capable of updating static values

you can use fix script or background scripts for your requirement

Please mark my answer as helpful/correct if it resolves your query.

Thanks Chaitanya,

Always good to have a second opinion and a lot of reading and searching since the original question. I'll use the fix script / rollback.

It would be nice to have though 🙂
