    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.

Thanks..  that's what I expected at first.  

In the end, I worked out that someone had left a 'api.Data.ClearCalculatedData'  which was a bit too general,  and that was clearing my AdjInput data in the target scenario.   It wasn't Calculated Data in the source scenario, so was not getting cleared there.  Hence the mismatch.
