RunHTMLReport and element locks

[FlorianBeer]

When running the HTML report for generating a easily accesible documentation for our non-technical staff, we've found an interesting behavior.
After running the report the elements in the exported package are lock if they haven't been locked already by someone else. With CTRL+SHIFT+L I can manually open the view of my locks and release the elements manually.

There are two questions open for me:

• Is there a way do this unlock over the scripting interface? Many projects in a nightly run are hard to handle manually...
• Why does the export need write access and lock the elements?

Can anyone help at least with the first question?

Florian,

That is weir behavior. I've never seen that before, are you sure your script isn't applying a user lock as well?

And yes, you can lock and unlock elements using scripts. I have seen however that EA needs some time to process the fact that an element is locked, but that shouldn't be an issue when unlocking.
