Hi,
I'm trying to create a % counter in my licence class based on an indirect link class between licence and person (lnkPersonToLicence), then divided by the max instances of that licence.
I have my logic on the Licence OnUpdate method, but it doesn´t get que changes on the Person's list when I modify it, then when I do another modification of the correct values are displayed.
If I put my logic on the AfterUpdate, I can see on the logs that the calculations are correct, but then they don't get saved into the DB, and I cannot do a DBUpdate() on the AfterUpdate because it's not working to protect against infite loops.

Anybody has tried this? Any workarounds?
On the OnUpdate can I get the list of indirect links that will be created and deleted?
Thanks!!

Hi Vincent,
I was in the situation descrived as 'Pitfall', in the tutorial :D
My case was slightly different, but once i understood the workaround for this pitfall I could adapt it for my case.
Thank a lot!!!
