Forecast Seeding not working for AdjInput

Hi, I'm trying to copy data from Actuals into Forecast,  but it seems to only work for Input and Forms Origin members, and not for Adj. Here is my formula, which I put on the Forecast Scenario: ...

    You can write to AdjInput using api.data.calculate. Below is the simple formula which i ran using custom calculate DM job.

     

    api.Data.Calculate("O#AdjInput:'all other filter'=O#Forms:'all other filter'")

     

    You can see the blue coloured cell which indicates calculated cell for AdjInput  member.

    You shouldn't have to specify AdjInput separately. Typically, for the items not specifically spelled out in the calculations, it will do the calc at all levels, meaning it should copy from Import, Forms, AdjInput, etc on its own.

Replying to myself,  as I think I have the answer.  It seems you can't write to the AdjInput member using Calculate.  Can anyone confirm that?

I just changed my formula to:

api.Data.Calculate("S#Forecast2:A#All:O#Import = S#" & sScenario & ":A#All:O#BeforeElim")

Which seems to work, although we'll lose a little granularity as to what was a journal vs input data in the source scenario. We can probably live with that though.
