| ISSUE | DYN-429 | InRule for Microsoft Dynamics 365 - Ensure entity updates occur before status change in plugin persistence | Implemented an alteration to order of operations for rules altering an entity's status. Prior to this change, rules where an entity is updated and then resolved would not properly execute, as the command to set the entity's status to resolved was executing first, making the entity read-only and unable to be updated. The order of operations has been altered to insure updates occur before the resolution of the entity, allowing for rules using this model to function properly. Due to the read-only nature of resolved entities however, this change does implement in the reverse problem. Rules attempting to re-open a resolved entity and then update it will no longer function. |
