Hi @GK_12349054,

The above use case must be implemented using OIR.

You need to configure an OIR for the custom Part, where you will define which lifecycle should be applied.
The following Knowledge Hub article will assist you in configuring the OIR.

You may also refer to the existing OOTB OIR for Part by navigating to:
Site → Utilities → Object Initialization Rules → Part.
Download and review the attached XML file for the Part configuration.

Hi @TDT ,

Thanks for your information we need to pass argument in OIR by using case Branch.

Hi @GK_12349054

Do you know, that you can define OIR rules for each WTPart type separately? A one Type a one OIR a one LifeCycle template
