Change locks are intended to prevent modifications to annotations. Use the following steps to add a change lock or unlock expression to your workflow template.

Lock Annotations

Lock annotations after a change object is confirmed, approved, completed, resolved, or rejected:

Create a new expression and enter “Lock Annotations” in the Name field and enter the following in the Expression tab:

wt.fc.collections.WTSet revisedChangeObjects = wt.fc.collections.CollectionsHelper.singletonWTSet(primaryBusinessObject);
wt.change2.ChangeLockHelper.service.lockRelatedMaterials(revisedChangeObjects, wt.change2.ChangeApplicationLock.LOCK_SUPPORTINGMATERIAL);

Unlock Annotations

Unlock annotation after a change object has been revised:

Create a new expression and enter “Unlock Annotations” in the Name field and enter the following in the Expression tab:

wt.fc.collections.WTSet revisedChangeObjects = wt.fc.collections.CollectionsHelper.singletonWTSet(primaryBusinessObject);
wt.change2.ChangeLockHelper.service.unlockRelatedMaterials(revisedChangeObjects, wt.change2.ChangeApplicationLock.LOCK_SUPPORTINGMATERIAL);
