Hello Unarine, I might suggest you create a script called workorder.duplicate and place your code for creating the correct prefix in that script.

The .duplicate script does not need a launchpoint and will run only when a work order is duplicated.

Here is some information that also might help.

Hope this helps.

Agreed with what Stephen suggested about the WORKORDER.DUPLICATE script. You will have two implicit variables, mbo and dupmbo representing the work order you are copying and the newly created work order.

One thing I would suggest though is not to have the original script fire on the INIT Object Launch Point Event. That script fires a lot, and you really only need it to fire once on creation of a new work order. You can drop the launch point and simply name your script WORKORDER.NEW, which will fire only once on creation of a new work order.

Hope that helps,

Alex

Thank you for you response. Followed the below and created WORKORDER.DUPLICATE script, however, the script is not setting the workorder number as expected. I added a set DESCRIPTION to test if it would set it and that worked. Unfortunately it is not seeting wonum. Here's the script:

WoNum = mbo.getString("WONUM")

# Check the app:
if app == 'TTWOTRACK':
    # Get the Mbo value so that a manual autokey generation can be triggered
    wonumValue = dupmbo.getMboValue("WONUM")

    # Trigger an autokey
    wonumValue.autoKey()

    # Set autokey value for WONUM"       
    dupmbo.setValue("WONUM","TT" +WoNum)

    # Set DESCRIPTION attribute
    dupmbo.setValue("DESCRIPTION", "TESTDUPWO")

Hi, 

Did you try getting the wonum after calling autokey()?
In your code, 'WoNum = mbo.getString("WONUM")' is called before autokey() , not afterwards.

Thanks!
