Pre-filling of values with BPA

Hello,

I would like to automatically pre-fill the value of the "PartNo" field in the part screen via BPA : 
So I created this very simple workflow: 

Which is triggered when you click on the "+" : 

 


However, nothing happens when you click on it.
However, if I try to pre-fill the field next to "Description", there's no problem: 

I have the impression that the "PartNo" field poses a problem because it's the primary key?
Is this the case? Is there a solution?

Thanks for your help,
Théo

Sorry. At the moment there’s no solution. Workflow doesn’t consider context when non-updatable attribute is encountered.

Value for “Part No” is not set because it is marked as a non-updatable field(In this case field is a key. So it is marked as non-updatable). Process enrichment skips enriching fields that are not updatable.

Hi @Buddhi Gunasekara 

Thank you for your reply.
What I don't understand is that we only act in the context of creating the registration?
Isn't there a solution to this?

Thank you very much!

a customer asked me this question: do you have a feasibility date for future versions?

Hi,

 

we need to automatically assign an item number to the part_no.

Is this problem in the road map or do we need to have a specific one developed 😞?

It’s not in the roadmap as of now.
