Record the temporary value and ending condition
Synthetic support temporarily changes report mode from compact to expanded until 17:00 on 20 October 2026. At expiry, record A still has expanded as set by this support action; it may restore compact. Record B now has customer-selected detailed mode, so the expiry action must not overwrite it. Record C has no reliable current evidence and remains under review. No automated compare-and-write feature is assumed.
| Record | Original / temporary | Current evidence at expiry | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | compact / expanded | Same support-set expanded | Restore compact |
| B | compact / expanded | Customer selected detailed later | Keep detailed; record supersession |
| C | compact / expanded | Current value unknown | Hold restoration for review |
Evaluate restoration against current evidence
- Read temporary action reference
- Read ending condition
- Compare current state with support state
- Restore, retain newer choice or review
A missing current-state read does not authorise restoring a possibly outdated value.
How many of A, B and C can restore compact now?
Show the worked answer
One: A. B keeps the later customer choice and C lacks the current evidence needed for restoration.
Use the agreed expiry and current-state evidence. A later customer choice requires its own disposition rather than an automatic restoration.
