​Welcome to the broadcast. Two questions to start:
1. Where are you joining from today?
2. Are you planning to go to Acumatica Summit this Summer?

Tim Rodman​
1. Long Beach, California

Tim Rodman
​2. Not planning to go this Summer 😞

Toon Six
​Hello from NJ

​Yuriy, speak up a bit. Sometimes I have a hard time to understand you. We want to hear you.

​TnT #4: https://www.augforums.com/forums/acum…

Tony Lanzer
​Because attributes are more of a logical data structure vs. physical, we try to stay away from them (among other reasons). 🙂

Brian Stevens​
To me, low code is if you can do it easily in the customization project directly. No code would be like automation steps and the new workflow.

Brian Stevens
​It doesn’t take much for me to need to go to visual studio for syntax, etc.

Tony Lanzer
​New workflow engine bit us this week. We wanted to add an option to a dropdown, and we can no longer do that in real custom code. Has to be done at least partly in workflows. Very surprising.

LabTechJunkie
​Ha! Unlocking a released invoice to edit a user defined field has currently been a frustation of ours!

Tony Lanzer
​Can you reference those new options in code later, though, when you add them in workflow ? I would doubt it.

Tony Lanzer​
right

Tony Lanzer
​Version control is always an issue when doing no-code or low-code vs. real code. Harder to do or see changes without real code. Any thoughts on version control? Low/No code is hidden.

Tony Lanzer
​xml is an option, but hard to sort through

AUGForums dot com
​Is anyone going to the Hackathon at Summit this year?

Brian Stevens
​yes!

D Dunn
​Of all the things that we developers do, documentation is the last thing that we like to do. Should we do it? Yes – but it is the least favourite thing to do. 🙂

Tony Lanzer
​yes

Toon Six
​Yuri, thanks for your blogs. Great stuff.

AUGForums dot com​https://blog.zaletskyy.com/

Toon Six
​Thank all of you. Have a great memorial day.

Tony Lanzer
