can workflow container in log change?

[Rick Bakker]

Hello,

"I have heard that the workflow container is dynamic and can change
after the workflow is Completed"

I don't know about that. I'd think it's true for object attributes but
not for container elements.

I've run into problems where an object attribute is being updated and
when I test that attribute it sometimes reflects the new value,
sometimes not. For debugging purposes it's better to copy the value to
a container element first and test that instead. At least you'll know
later what was being tested.

regards
