Has anyone been able to get the PA52 actions to process for a secondary role via an addins?  We were always under the impression that it could not be done but am just wondering if anyone has been successful.

Yes, it can be done, it is very particular and you have to pass in the fields being changes, the * field and the new field value.

Do you have a specific action code that y use for your multiple position changes?

We do - we use DUAL ROLE for all secondary role changes. I think what you are saying is that we have to "show/pass" all of the * fields even if not changing. Do we leave the new value field blank for those not changing then?

Yes, correct, all the * fields need to be included and yes, if not being changed, would be passed as blank. You also have to pass the actual *

When you build your upload you will find (for example)
PCT-POSITION
POSITION-STAR
PCT-NEW-POSITION

Any field on the action (identified on PA52.5 with a *) needs to be in your upload file, you only pass the ones with new values.
I have always built my upload with the old value, the new value and a field with an actual *
