    Hello, I found out the answer to this.

    JavaScript Aras method, aras.setItemProperty() is what can perform the front-end sided operation.

    The parameters descriptions are found when you dive into the method. Ensure that srcNode is an Item.node, and itemTypeNd is the item "Item" of the item, and also should be passed as an item.node. Passing them as item.node is important to have .selectSingleNode() available directly, as that method is called directly on the parameters and will return an error such as 'method selectSingleNode()' doesn't exist.

    I configured this to be run on an action, and performs much faster than running a .apply() on each record. It also shows the updates on the screen in real time, so once the operation is complete it will be apparent as you can see the grid change.

    Best Regards,

    Frank

Hey Frank, do you have a bit more info to share on this?  I assume you're doing everything from the Client method and nothing being passed server side?

Right now I'm using an action with VC_GetSelectedItems to feed the method which is doing the work.  Presumably you're skipping that first method and simply running it all in one go?

Thanks for the guidance.
