Good Evening all,

I have custom buttons which add Labor Records on Work orders and default values.  I accomplished this with a traditional Java customization in the past.  Now these customizations are not working properly after I apply the May 2025 update for MAS/Manage 9.0.

Does anyone have a complete example of how to add an automation script to a button on a child record?  I cannot get it to execute for the life of me.

UPDATE:  
Here's how I solved my issue by following the link Alex provided https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ibm-mas-manage-ui-bean-scripting-andrzej-wieclaw-4vtbf/
Thanks to others for the suggestions, I'm sure there are multiple ways of doing this.

1. Set System Property mxe.script.allowbeanscript = 1
2. Create an automation script named DATABEAN.<custom-name>  Ex: DATABEAN.WOTRACK.ACTUALS.LABOR
   1. Be sure to check the "Allow Invoking Script Functions?" checkbox
   2. For DataBeans you have to add variables to the script with Variable Type "IN" and Binding Type LITERAL
      1. beanid = actuals_actuals_aclabor_aclabor_table    You find this in the application XML. IN my case this was the id of the <table>
      2. beanapp = WOTRACK
   3.  The function inside your script has to have the same as the the mxevent.  In my case mxevent="addrowWithLabor"

from psdi.server import MXServer

def addrowWithLabor(ctx):
    mxserver = MXServer.getMXServer()
    control = ctx.getEvent().getSourceControlInstance()
    databean = control.getDataBean()

    rowadd = databean.addrow()
    ltmbo = databean.getMbo()
    currentuser = ltmbo.getUserInfo()
    personid = currentuser.getPersonId()
    try:
        personset = mxserver.getMboSet("PERSON", currentuser)
        personset.setWhere("personid = '" + personid + "'")
        personset.reset()
        if not personset.isEmpty() and not personset.getMbo(0).isNull("locationorg"):
            laborset = mxserver.getMboSet("LABOR",currentuser)
            laborset.setWhere("orgid = '" + personset.getMbo(0).getString("locationorg") + "' and personid = '" + personid + "'")
            laborset.reset()
            if not laborset.isEmpty() and not laborset.getMbo(0).isNull("laborcode"):
                ltmbo.setValue("LABORCODE",laborset.getMbo(0).getString("laborcode"))
                
    finally:
        laborset.cleanup()
        laborset.close()
        personset.cleanup()
        personset.close()
