Add to Pending when a specific field changes
Jamroom Developers
The core Pending support is all automatic based on jrCore_db_create_item and jrCore_db_update_item - as long as you are using jrCore_db_update_item to UPDATE the item (from the Change Title form), then the pending should work. However, it's also going to be triggered if they do a regular "update" to the item (not it's title).
I can't think of any way to work around this other than to NOT use jrCore_db_update_item in your "regular" view - you'd need to directly update the item_key table via an SQL query.
Let me know if that helps.
