Phrase Prompts

Post by dutil »

Hello,

We have an automation in place where we push Exceptions/Requirements to the order and some of them have prompts.
When we set the lookup code it always asks for prompts, even though we have already set the text of phrase.

Is it possible to add a new phrase with a lookup code and not triggering the prompt logic?
We would also settle for a format similar to rendered documents where you can handle the prompts programatically.

I reached out to another department for an answer:

Yes, Lookup entries can be added without prompts. If the Requirements/Exceptions are straight text with no dynamic fields this is very straight-forward. If there is dynamic information that changes from order to order you can code the Lookup entries to pull data from the order instead of prompting for it. For example, if a Requirement needs the a Buyer’s name(s), you could use field codes to pull that data. For assistance with editing your Requirements an Exception please contact our Support department.

Sorry if I wasn't clear in the previous question.
We already have our phrases created (they need to have prompts).

Using the API, we want to push a phrase/lookup code and programatically handle (or ignore altogether) the prompts.

Is that possible?
