That is incorrect behavior, writing to the TMOD or NOWT fields should NOT cause the TIME field to update, because those fields are not defined as PP (Process Passive). When I test modifying those fields with dbpf the TIME field does NOT update:
Since I didn't say TIME changed with dbpf, I'm not surprised at your results.
I suspect that perhaps you have the attribute PP on your gensub links for the TMOD and NOWT fields, while those should actually be NPP. But I still don't understand why the fields would not update.
Yes, the links from the genSub record are PP. That may be unnecessary, but, as you say, it doesn't explain why the fields won't update. If there were a bug in my genSub processing routine, then when I re-link the output to a longin record instead of NOWT it should also fail. Yet it succeeds. Very puzzling.
