Issue/Introduction

• We have a script that is going to be used to lock a recently introduced field / attribute for existing ideas.
• This is accomplished by inserting records in the table: odf_locked_attributes. 
• Is it possible to get support approval to execute?

Resolution

1. Direct database updates are not supported. 
2. The supported way would to do this would be through a system action in a process to lock the attribute.
3. If you have a large number of ideas you need to perform this step for one way that may help:

• Create a temporary process that can be run to lock the field
  • The start condition of that process can be a custom attribute that you could update via XOG
  • Which in turn will trigger a process which will lock that attribute.
