    Just look how the OOTB change processes work. 

    From my POV all existing processes are just terrible (true fact...), but e.g. Simple MCO is an easy reference, also it doesn´t use Affected items which you might use. Just search for Method with name "change pending" and see how they are used. Than choose the reference that is most close to your process.

    No, we do not.  A lot of this is something that I inherited, so I am still figuring out what was done & still don't understand why they did it this way.  [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]

      Your predecessors did so because they didn't know any better. These kind of details are not covered by trainings or documentation. (They are covered by my exclusive consulting and training service) :-)

      Using a change pending marker is the easiest way to prevent users from promoting items outside a change process. But maybe for Change Notifications it´s not the optimal solution, cause no real change is involved. But you should be able to reuse existing Methods for this one.
