Hi Ocal

I can capture swapping class types by clicking the other class type button
Note I'm using standard recording without controls, if that makes a difference.

Please note you'll want to ensure you handle the:

(1) IF FIRST TRANSACTION - this is standard, as the first transaction will always have the pop-up to select class type, but after that it will remember the last class type for subsequent rows and won't have a pop-up by default.
 
and

(2) IF NOT FIRST TRANSACTION, so that you always have the pop-up to choose the class type for each row twice - or however many class types you need to capture.  Again, MM02 remembers the class type for subsequent rows, so you'll want to force it to change class types so that you have control over which characteristics you're working with.
for this you'll click that button to swap class types, and then select the next one.  I use the FILTER and pass in the class type so that I'm certain I am selecting the right one.

Lastly, in my script I have this twice - once for material class and once for batch class - and I have the material class hardcoded, but you can also map it.  I also created two loops, one for each class type.  It's one design that works, but you can author it how you like.

HTH,
Sigrid

Hi Ocal

You click the button to swap (or it pops up initially).
then click the filter button in the pop-up

Fill in the class type and click the checkbox

it will automatically select the one class type you have, so just click the checkbox

then you're set to update that class type's characteristics.

You'd follow the same steps to swap to a new class type - clicking to swap class type then the steps above.

Will that work for you?

Best Regards,
Sigrid
