Pushing Data from UBC Form Using Custom Action to Update Field on Employee BC

smodarressiyazdi

I have a user form on a UBC form. There is a button on the form that triggers a custom action (MgrCompleteEmpAckRequired) to save the form with exit rules to update the form status. I also want an exit rule to take the data in a UBC date field and update a date field on the Employee business class with the same data.

The action is updating the forms status on the UBC, but the exit rule isn't updating the field on the employee business class.

Has anyone had success in achieving something like this?

This is my LPL for the date fields (identical on the UBC and Emp BC) and action:

Persistent Fields

     ProbPeriodExtDate is Date

Actions

        MgrCompleteEmpAckRequired is an Instance Action

            Action Rules

                invoke UpdateForm

            Exit Rules

                ProbPeriodStatus = ProbPeriodStatus.3

                ProbPeriodToEERel.ProbPeriodExtDate = ProbPeriodExtDate

I was able to figure this out for my use case. The exit rule needed to invoke the update action on the Employee BC. Then use a relation between my user BC and the Employee BC to identify the specific field I wanted to update and where I wanted to pull the data from (the business class or the form that was being updated).

Actions

        MgrCompleteEmpAckRequired is an Instance Action

            Action Rules

                invoke UpdateForm

            Exit Rules

                ProbPeriodStatus = ProbPeriodStatus. 3     //This updates the status of the record on my User BC

                invoke Update UBCtoEmployeeBCRel.Employee //invokes the Update action on the Employee BC

                           invoked.UserDateFieldonEmployee BC = (UserDateFieldOnUserBC) //Update Employee Date Field with User BC Date Field

                           fill in fields from this instance // Update the field using the User Field value on this form
