Question

Update comments field after check in is succeeded

Hello,

Is there a way or possibility to update the check in comments after the part or item is checked in?
May be by the admin, manager or supervisor roll?

Thanks for your comments and advice.

Not without customization or DB hacks sql updates.

Bert, hi

What you want to do is doable but not OOTB.

 

Can you describe your use case?

For example, from the Windchill object’s info page an Admin selects an action to update checkin comments and they add/update comments without iterating the object.

Hi Graham,

use case:
User is checking in items into the common space and adds comments in the comments field.
After the check in is succeeded there is a need to add some additional information to the comments
which where added during the check in.
At this moment I see no possibility to achieve that.

It would be nice to have this possibility may be connected to a role in Windchill.
May be the Admin.

What about using the underrated discussion forum? It would not be tied to an iteration but can collect comments and postings about the subject object.
