Hi Rehan,

Excellent job in summing up some of the methods.

There is another method that may work for you. In some of the later maintenance releases we have added a utility that can perform these updates.

See the Windchill Online help section entitled "Running the Life Cycle Template Command Line Utility" for more information on its use

Good Luck,

Jarrett
