Question

How to limit release target based on change notice sub type

Hi,

My part lifecycle states include Development - Prototype - Released - Withdrawn

On revise from prototype or released the part will return to development state, and then a change notice is used to either transition Development → Prototype, Development → Released or Prototype→ Released

I have two types of change notice “Prototype Change Notice” and “Change Notice”, which have different workflows (different approval roles)

I would like to limit the available release targets when a “Prototype Change Notice” is raised to only be the prototype state - “Preproduction” change transition (remove the Change transition from the list)

This looks similar to the request here, but I cant see a solution - 

I have tried investigating the mapping rules, but I can only find how to limit target states based on the change object type, not on the change notice type it is within

Thanks

Hi ​@bc2222,

Please check the transitions configured in the lifecycle template associated with the Prototype Change Notice.

Hi ​@TDT 

Thanks for your response

The issue is that I need to enable both the change transitions in the object under change to get them both to show, however I cant then find a way to link between the change notice soft type, and the object that is being changed to limit which transitions are shown to the user

Hi

 

You can try using change Intent in affected objects to control Release Target in release objects.
When they add object to affected object,they could use change intent as Prototype,so that release target will be limited to preproduction.
You can control this mapping rules to control change transistion based on change intent.

Hi ​@Srinivas_256 ,

I can use the change intent in the affected objects, but this relies on the user selecting it. I would like the change intent to be automatically set based on the change notice soft type. Otherwise it is possible for users to set the type to prototype change notice (to get a limited set of approvals), but set the change intent to release to production, whereby they can release objects to production with the incorrect approvals

Hi ​@TDT 

I don’t have transitions configured in the lifecycle template associated with the "prototype change notice" because the transitions are controlled by the workdlow

I have checked the transitions configured within the lifecycle template associated with the objects that are subject to change (e.g. WTParts), and they have transitions to states covered by either the prototype change notice or change notice enabled to get both options to show in the change intent dropdown

My issue is that I would like to filter these options depending on the type of change notice selected

Hi ​@Srinivas_256 

I am able to change the change intent in the affected objects, however I would like to be able filter/map this based on the type of change notice selected.

Otherwise users could select a "prototype change notice" (which has lower approval levels) and then set the change intent to released, which would allow them to release objects based without suitable approvals

Do you know if there is any way to control the mapping between the change notice type, and the available change intents?

Thanks
