    You can trigger the DM job from the rule, there are examples scattered across these forums. You can also try triggering the Custom Calc directly from a button, I've not tested it.

    I don't think you'll be able to use direct data-manipulation APIs from a dashboard extender for those periods, if the Dashboard is executed as a Workspace step in Workflow, because (as you've seen) the Workflow controls will kick in.

    Edit: sorry, re-reading, you mean changing the Scenario property that defines the noinput periods? That might trigger even worse things and force you to reset the scenario, losing all data for that Scenario in the year. Big no-no.
