- Hi Ahmed, If you want to change the LifeCycle state of a specific item, you can use the "promote" button or menu option. It is also possible to promote items via the workflow, but manual promotions are the most straightforward. Eli
Eli Donahue Aras Labs Software Engineer - Hi , Thank you for your answer . but how can i do it manual . i created method with this code : var innovator = new Innovator(); var t5id = getFieldByName("text0").getElementsByTagName("input")[0].value; var t5date = getFieldByName("text1").getElementsByTagName("input")[0].value; var t5name = getFieldByName("text2").getElementsByTagName("input")[0].value; var t5comment = getFieldByName("text3").getElementsByTagName("input")[0].value; var t5button = getFieldByName("Update").getElementsByTagName("input")[0].value; var partItem = innovator.newItem("result4","update"); var id = document.thisItem.getProperty("id"); partItem.setID(id); partItem.setProperty("t4id", t5id); partItem.setProperty("t4date", t5date); partItem.setProperty("t4name", t5name); partItem.setProperty("t4comment", t5comment); partItem.apply(); ------------------------------------------------------------------- I want, if the button is pressed, the status should be changed
- Hi Ahmed, You can promote an item in code using the promote() method. Just pass a parameter with the name of the state you want to promote the item to. This will send a request to the server to promote the item and return the response. Note that the promote method does not update the context item itself. Eli
Eli Donahue Aras Labs Software Engineer - Hi , i do it but the status is not changed with this code : partItem.promote("in Bearbeitung","Promoted");
- Hi Ahmed, Since the method doesn't update the context item, you'll need to update it with your code. For example:
partItem= partItem.promote("in Bearbeitung","Promoted");Note that this is replacing partItem with the result received from the server, so any previous changes to that item that were not applied to the server may be overwritten in memory. Eli

- hi but how can i know if the state is changed or not
- how can i change the state to '' in progress '' using workflow ??
- Hi ahmed, You can do this by modifying the Workflow Map. When you select a workflow activity in the map, you can configure the promotion you want to occur under the Promotions tab. In order to promote your item to the "in progress" state, you'll want to add a new promotion event and configure the columns as shown below.
- Event - You'll likely want to choose 'On Activate' which will occur when the workflow gets to your chosen activity
- ItemType - The ItemType you have attached your life cycle to
- Life Cycle - The Life Cycle Map you have created
- From State - The Created state of your Life Cycle
- To State - The In Progress state of your Life Cycle
- Role - The Identity that will be performing this promotion (Aras PLM is the standard Role for these kinds of automatic promotions)
