How can I remove the $UpdatedBy field in documents?
How can I either remove the $UpdatedBy field from existing records or the summary flag within those that have this field?
I have tried
.issummary = False - through script Field $UpdatedBy := @IsUnavailable - through formula language
Fields that are prefixed with a $ are sometimes called internal fields. These are fields automatically generated by Notes/Domino. Changing these may impact how Notes/Domino functions. What is probably happening is that after you change the value, the value is then updated by the internal processes and the summary flag is set again. The $UpdatedBy field appears wherever an authors field exists. Removing the authors field from the existing document and then removing the $UpdatedBy field may resolve your issue. You may need to save and reload the document between deletions.
