Description
Keywords: force, status, question mark, check mark, property
After a process is forced "Up to Date" (Process -> Force Process Up-to-Date), changing a process property might not make the status of the process out of date.
Solution
In general, any time a process property is changed, the status of the project should either indicate that the process has not been run or that the process is out of date. When you use the Force Status option, it is possible to create a situation where this will not happen if the process property is changed back to the original value that it had during the last run.Example:
1) Process1 is completed while PropertyA=10.
2) PropertyA is changed to 8 and the process goes out of date.
3) Process1 is forced Up-to-Date.
4) PropertyA is changed back to 10. Now the process does not go out of date since the current value is identical to the value of PropertyA when Process1 was last run successfully.
