Investment Allocation Job Changes The Last Updated By and Last Update Date For Projects

Products

• Clarity PPM On Premise

Issue/Introduction

When we run the Investment Allocation job in Clarity, it updates "Last Updated By" and "Last Updated Date" for the corresponding investments.

Cause

This is working as designed. 

 

Resolution

As per current design, the (Last Updated By) and (Last Updated Date) fields will change when the Investment Allocation job is run. 

Some options to workaround the behavior:

1. The owner of the Investment Allocation job could be changed to a generic user who does not make changes via the UI such as "Admin" to help distinguish between a job action making the change versus a UI update. 
   
   
2. Audit the specific attributes that you would like to have tracked. This will then keep the history of who made any changes to those fields.
   To enable auditing, go to Administration > Studio > Objects, click on the object the attribute belongs to, and click on the Audit tab.
