Batch action external data

Post by baudwalker » 2018-01-20 03:39

I have a batch action that changes the year. Within the js file I hardwired the year with status=2018. Therefore someone needs to change the js file each year.

Is it possible to have an input field popup and ask for a year?

I can do this outside AppGini but not as a batch action.

work around, as the year 2017 was already in the DB it is only a matter of adding one to that to move to the next year. so simple a fool could work it out

Yes, one more case file for the aphorism that “perspective is worth 50 points of IQ” ....
thanks for the chuckle as I was self flagellating just yesterday due a similar blind spot having prevented me from seeing the obvious... and your comment just set me right by reminding me of the words of Alan Kay.
