Just a thought, It would be good to create a process on idea object with one step having custom GEL script(with below update command) to clear Purge flag. This allows user to open an Idea, Click on processes tab and initiate the process. UPDATE INV_INVESTMENTSSET PURGE_FLAG = nullWHERE ODF_OBJECT_CODE = 'idea' -- (redundant check)AND id={gel_objectInstanceID} If you create a job, user should explicitly pass IdeaID whenever he wants to run this job. I did not explore much of 8.1 functionality, so not sure if you have an processes tab when you open an Idea. RegardsSiva
