Additionally, the localhost log and the business rule debug tool will output the following:

 

 

Release

Madrid and greater

Instructions

If the legacy functionality is required the user will need to make a customization to the script include called 'ChangeRequestStateModel_normal' by inputting in the following. Please note before implementing this change that users should test on a sub-production before deploying to production. Find the review method in the SI and then paste the following. This starts from line 152 from the SI.

 

 review: {
        nextState: ["closed"],
 
        canceled: {
            moving: function() {
                return this.toCanceled_moving();
            },
 
            canMove: function() {
                return this.toCanceled_canMove();
            }
        },
 
        closed: {
            moving: function() {
                return this.toClosed_moving();
            },
 
            canMove: function() {
                return this.toClosed_canMove();
            }
        }
    },
