commit records- skip data entry

[hassam36]

Hello

Has anyone scripted a process that creates/duplicates records, but bypasses the database required field constraints with the commit records-skip data entry validation option?

I may need to do this, but am concerned about bypassing the above constraints.

Have you tried using the "Commit Records/Requests" script step with the "Skip data entry validation" Checked?

[hassam36]

That is what I am actually looking to do. I was just wondering if there are any ramifications to skipping your own database validations (required fields)?

[bdonelson]

oh, sorry I misunderstood the question.

I guess it would make a difference, how you are using the validations.

If you are not using unique records, I guess it could be used.

[hassam36]

No- the specific fields that I am bypassing the validations on are not unique, just required.

Thanks for the input.
