Hi,
Is there anyway to find out if an item is just Claimed OR whether it is Locked by a user.
Even if an item is claimed, the is_locked becomes True. So it is not possible to differentiate between them.

Hi Abhijit,
The short answer is that “claiming” and “locking” are different terms for the same concept - an item can only be edited by the locked_by_id user on that item. The lock terms in the data model and API are leftovers from earlier naming.
The longer answer:
For many years the Innovator UI had separate “edit”, “lock”, “unlock”, and “save and unlock” actions for items. The user experience was simplified in v12 to replace the explicit locking/unlocking with claiming.
This blog post is old, but the claiming vs. locking explanation still holds true: aras.com/.../aras-innovator-12-ui-updates
