Update a master method based on a changed result set method

. If the project enforces method approval, the status of the master method that you want to update must be Generic. For details, see Method approval.

Master Method in the Processing ribbon tab.Click Yes to update the master method.
If a master method exists in the Methods folder or one of its subfolders, a dialog opens where the exact paths and the revision numbers of the master method and result set method are shown. The revision numbers are automatically incremented by one when you save a method.
If no master method exists, it will be created.
If several versions of the master method exist, always the latest version will be updated.
If the method audit trail is activated in the updated master method, the system adds audit trail entries for all updated method properties.
