My question is that i have issues with updating a contact when using the custom process.
When i try to obtain the contact id from the $obj variable, retrieve the contact object, alter a custom field and then save the contact object it doesn't update the contact object at all.
When i do the same thing but then alter the custom object which causes the update trigger for the custom process and save it, it also alters the contact object. Because the custom object is used by an external system i can't update the object to add a extra field which i can use for an update only.
I can't seem to find in the documentation that this is the way to do this. I find it hard to believe that you always need to change the triggered object in order to change another object. Maybe somebody encountered the same problem and can help me with understanding this better.
