Detecting Change to the "Notes" field

[Nick Pearce]

Hi everyone, I'm very new to the scripting engine in EA and I'd like to get your thoughts on a solution.

Given a requirement, I would like the status of a Requirement to change back to "Proposed" if someone edits it when it has a status of "Approved". The purpose here would be to prevent people from tinkering with approved requirements.

I've been playing with the workflow scripts and haven't been able to determine how to detect if the "Notes" field has changed in order to flip the status back.

If there's a better line of thinking here, I'm open to suggestions!

Thanks in advance

Workflow scripts can't change anything on the elements.  Look at an add-in and implementing EA_OnNotifyContextItemModified.

I'm not sure, but you might need to use EA_OnContextItemChanged to get the "before" state.
