While updating records using gr, we can use several additional methods that would affect the outcome. Let us look at some of the methods below

1. setWorkflow(false) - stops any business rule or workflow engine from running.

2. autoSysFields(false) - tells system not to update the system fields like sys_updated_on, sys_updated_by, sys_created_by etc

3. setForceUpdate(true) - forces the business rules and workflow engine to run, despite not having any actual update.

Imagine how a simple line of code could result in different outcomes, a butterfly effect for the records in question.
