Rectified + use a part

When a technician marks an item Rectified, Pistonlog asks 'use a part?' and links the inspection into the parts list

ManagerReceptionTechnicianRequires Inspections plan

The Rectified status means "I fixed it during this visit." Because fixing something usually means fitting a part, tapping Rectified triggers a Pistonlog-specific shortcut: an Update parts? popover that lets you mark the relevant part as fitted without leaving the inspection.

What happens when you tap Rectified

Tap Rectified on an inspection item

The tap is intercepted. RECTIFIED is not yet applied — a small popover appears asking Update parts?

Tap Yes

RECTIFIED is applied to the inspection item. A dialog then opens listing every part already on the jobcard, grouped by job. Change the relevant part's status (e.g. to fitted). Each status change saves immediately.

Tap No

RECTIFIED is applied. The parts dialog doesn't open — useful when you fixed the item without needing a part.

Dismiss (Esc / click outside)

RECTIFIED is not applied. The status stays at whatever it was before. The popover acts as a safety prompt — dismissing cancels the change.

Why this shortcut exists

Without it you'd mark the item Rectified, then go back to the jobcard, hunt for the part in the parts list, and update its status separately. The shortcut keeps the inspection and the parts list in sync without the round trip.

When this prompt doesn't fire

The prompt only appears when you're filling a real submission on a real jobcard. If you're previewing the template inside the form builder, the prompt is suppressed — there's no jobcard to link to, so tapping Rectified just applies it.
