I have a User Event script that runs on Create of Vendor Payments, for a subset of custom roles. For Payments created in the UI it runs fine. I have a Map/Reduce script that creates Vendor Payments. The Map/Reduce runs as Administrator, so my UE Script doesn't run. What's the best approach here to programmatically run the UE Script after the Map/Reduce?

Don't handle the execution roles via the UI but in code, then you will be able to do something like: if (one of these roles OR execution context is Map Reduce) { run. }

The UE Script comes from a Localization Bundle, can't touch it 😕

In that case, second deployment for the Map Reduce to run as one of the roles that trigger that UE.

In Map/Reduce, the option of

EXECUTE AS ROLE

is locked as Administrator, can't be changed

So you can't update the MR or the UE?

Correct. The user needs to edit > save the records manually to trigger the UE.

Well if you can't update the MR or UE, not event the deployment, then you are going to need to do something trickier... Write a MR or Scheduled script that searches those records System Notes to determine if they were modified by a MR, then load and save, since this is a Map Reduce or Scheduled created by you, then you can make it run as the role you need.

It's by design. As per Oracle docs: For map/reduce deployments, this value is automatically set to Administrator and cannot be edited. For scheduled script deployments, this value is automatically set to Administrator and cannot be edited.

It was not like that before... Then go more crazy: Map Reduce or Scheduled Script -> Suitelet -> Your record. But you may be able to do custom Mass Update.
