What does "Automatic inventory" in a "Business rules for assets" mean?

Hi,

I'm trying to create a Business rule for assets in GLPI 10.0.7 to set the status of a computer to "active" or some other value, if the GLPI Agent is delivering the inventory data. I thought, I have to set the criteria "Automatic inventory" to "is yes" in the case of a GLPI Agent inventory. But this does not work. It only works, if "Automatic inventory" is set to "is no". The result is that a manual change of the computer data will trigger the rule. So, is this a bug or what does "Automatic inventory" stand for?

Regards,
Andreas

It seems like a bug. I believe that you are correct in that it is meant to indicate if the update was done automatically through an inventory process or manually. However, I don't see anywhere in the code that actually sets this to 1 or true and the default value of 0 seems to always be used.

You can report the bug on the GitHub:
