QUESTION:
I have a scenario set-up to "Allow Block Bypassing" but nothing happens when I select the "Bypass Block" button (i.e. the message just stays on the screen and the record is not saved). What am I doing wrong?
ANSWER:
Bypass Block will not function as expected in the following cases:
1. Does not work with inline editing. The duplicate message and button will be displayed but when selected the record will not be saved, it will always be blocked.
Workaround: If a scenario is set to "Do Not Update" with bypass block enabled users will need to edit using the standard Edit button.
2. Requires a second "Save" when invoked from a VisualForce page. The duplicate message and button will be displayed but when selected it will appear to do nothing. If the user selects "Save" again the record WILL be saved.
Note: A "Save" button is required on the VisualForce page in order for the bypass to work (will not work at all if no "Save" button).
