Prayer request comments

Question

St Lukes wants the prayer requests comments to be anonymous. I noticed that its using a system communication https://rock.stlukesumc.com/Communications/System/39 and I cant edit the lava. Is there a way to edit the lava or do I need to create a completely different communication to use on this system job?

NOTE: Be careful when editing entities in Rock marked as "IsSystem", sometimes this can cause issues. Typically, changing the verbiage or text in a system communication or email template is safe though.

To edit a system communication that's flagged as "System" (uneditable) you can temporarily make it editable by going to Admin Toolbox > Power Tools > SQL Command and typing

UPDATE [SystemCommunication]
SET IsSystem = 0
WHERE Id = 39

changing Id = 39 to the Id of the system communication. Make sure to change "Selection Query?" to "No":

This will allow you to edit the communication:

When you're done, go back to the SQL Command window and type:

UPDATE [SystemCommunication]
SET IsSystem = 1
WHERE Id = 39

changing Id = 39 to the Id of the system communication.
