# IGNORE_PACK_CHANGED

WIS and WQS Process Configuration

## Summary

This attribute defines whether users can Keep or Release work items even if the item’s pack data has changed since they opened it.

## Applies to

This attribute can be set for the `WIS` process (only).

## Permissible Values

The attribute must be assigned one of the following values.

Value | Meaning
0 | Pack data changes lock work items. A user cannot Keep or Release a work item that has had its pack data updated since the user opened it.
1 | Pack data changes are ignored. A user may Keep or Release a work item that has had its pack data updated since the user opened it. If any of the user’s changes to the work item conflict with the changed pack data, the user’s changes overwrite them.

## Default Value

This attribute is not defined on a newly installed iProcess Engine node. In this case, the default value is:

Machine ID | Process | Instance | Value
0 | WIS | 0 | 0

This attribute only appears in the output of the `SHOW_ALL_ATTRIBUTES` command if you have explicitly assigned a value to it using the `SET_ATTRIBUTE` command. The default setting is not displayed.

## Notes

In earlier iProcess Engine versions, if pack data is updated for a work item while a user has that work item open (for example, via a `swutil EVENT -p` command, which is under the `SWDIR``\bin` directory), the `WIS` process locks the work item and does not allow the user to Keep or Release it. The following error is displayed to the user when they try to Keep or Release the work item:

    Error case data updated elsewhere since item opened. Please open item and edit it again.

Setting `IGNORE_PACK_CHANGED` to `1` allows users to Keep or Release work items even if the item’s pack data has changed since they opened it.
