# After Material Creation

Run a workflow for each **Material** after it is created.

## Event Context

The event provides the typed `Material` field to child tasks. Select it in the value editor directly; no entity-type condition or type conversion is required.

??? example "After Material Creation"

    Select `Material` as the `Entity` input of **Update entity properties**. Set a String row named `Description` to `Inspection queued` and enable `Persist` to save the initialization.

## Behavior

The handler runs once for each **Material** in the native creation collection, in collection order. An empty collection runs no handlers. Singular and generic creation services that reach this collection boundary use the same event.

The `Material` has been created inside the current transaction. Save any subsequent property changes explicitly.

The handler runs inside the creation transaction. An error can cancel or roll back creation. An After event runs after the operation boundary, while the transaction is still active.
