Get temp record task

The purpose of the Get Temp Record task is to access the temporary data associated with a record. Temporary data is data that the user has created or modified that has not yet been permanently saved.

This kind of task is in the workflow editor's task palette only if the workflow is synchronous and allowed to access temporary data or if within a DataConnect task.

After a Get Temp Record task has successfully completed, its result list contains a record that contains the temporary data associated with the record that was used to launch the current workflow. In the case of a Get Temp Record task used within a DataConnect task, the result list contains a record created or updated by the staging table input.

Note: If a workflow is defined as temporary and is called through a callable workflow task from an asynchronous workflow, there is no user interacting with the data and therefore there is no temporary data. In this case, all of the tasks defined to do work on the temporary data will do that same work on the permanent data.

Use a Modify Records task (described in "Modify records task") to change the values in the temporary data. Then use a Save Permanent Record task (described in "Save permanent record task") to update the record’s permanent data from the temporary data.

If the start record is an in memory record, a Get Temp Record task is ignored.

The properties form for a Get Temp Record task is organized into two sections. Here are descriptions of the fields in the first section:
