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 🙂
