Hello,

There is a requirement that asset's  location column will be updated through automation script but
column changeby & changedate should not be updated they should remain as before.
how can i achieve this because whenever we update asset these two columns gets updated.

maximo version 7.6.0

Unless you bypass the MBOs, there's not a way to directly prevent this. You could update the changeby & changedate back to their initial values, but I would question the value in suppressing it. 

To set it back, you could do something like below in your method:

mbo.setValue("CHANGEBY",mbo.getMboValue("CHANGEBY").getInitialValue().asString(),mbo.NOACCESSCHECK)
