In NOAH 3 it was only possible to edit Actions within the same calendar day in which they were created. This has been changed in Noah 4.  By default, Noah will allow Actions to be edited beyond the calendar day in which the actions were created.  However this only applies to Noah 4 modules and there are two exceptions to this rule:

1.   This feature can be disabled by the Business System.  By setting the ‘EditOldActionsAllowed’ property to false. The property is in the BusinessAPI and the default is set to true.

2.   The Action cannot be edited if it is referenced by another Action.

In the following two examples we will assume that the Action we are editing isn't referenced by another Action and the Business System allows Actions to be edited beyond the current calendar day.

Example 1) What happens in Noah 4 if an Action from the current calendar day is edited?
In this case, the Noah 4 behavior is identical to NOAH 3.

Example 2) What will happen if an Action not belonging to the current calendar day is edited?
In this case, Noah 4 will create an ‘Archived Action’ which is a clone of the unmodified Action. Noah 4 will create a new Action with the updated information and also a new action id. The new Action with the updated information will be added to the Session of the edited Action.
Archived Actions cannot be edited themselves.

In the following example we will assume that either the Action we are editing is referenced by another Action and/or the Business System doesn’t allow Actions to be edited beyond the current calendar day.

Example 3) What will happen if an attempt to edit the Action is made?
In this case, Noah 4 will create an ‘Archived Action’ which is a clone of the unmodified Action. This ‘Archived Action’ will no longer be accessible via the Session to which it originally belonged. Next Noah 4 will create a new Action reflecting the content of the unmodified Action apart from action id and the updated information. This new Action with the updated information will now be added to the Session of the edited Action.
