Thank you Vladimir for article.

That is for to get value not to set.

To set Release Target using setTargetTrasition().

But after setting the Transition as " CHANGE "on Wc UI changes are not reflecting.

Is there any method to save or propagate the changes which madhe on Change Record.

Hi @_1647 

It is really good idea to share some snip code. 

The class cast exception can be thrown because you expect some object type and use wrong retype object, but there is a different type. For example an Array.

  wt.fc.QueryResult links = wt.change2.ChangeHelper2.service.getChangeablesAfter(CA);           

while (links.hasMoreElements())

{            

wt.change2.ChangeRecord2 newChangeRecord = (wt.change2.ChangeRecord2) links.nextElement();       newChangeRecord.setTargetTransition(wt.lifecycle.Transition.CHANGE);             wt.lifecycle.Transition trans = newChangeRecord.getTargetTransition();             System.out.println("Release Target Transition is :" + trans.getDisplay());           }

Hi @_1647 

you should use the persistence manager to store the change. You just change it in the memory of the java transaction and it is not stored.

// save the change on the existing record
PersistenceHelper.manager.save(recordToUpdate);
// save the new record
PersistenceHelper.manager.store(newRecord);

PS: if you write a code in the workflow, you have to define full class definition

wt.fc.PersistenceHelper

Hi @HelesicPetr 

I need one more help from you that,

How can we programmatically get the comments from resulting item table because we don't get that in change record and not on objects as well.

[@_1647]

Sorry @HelesicPetr 

wrong question asked we can get that as description

[HelesicPetr]

@_1647

Yes that was wrong question actually.

Now I am struggling to get formatted text 

[@_1647]

Actually question was how or HTMLTextFilter works to get formatted description in report because I am using htmltExtFilter.filterHtMLText();

But it's not working getting description with html tags like <p><\p>etc

Hi  @_1647 

Actually I would start a new thread for your question. PS> formatted text from what?
