I am working in App Engine Studio on a custom app extended from the task table. We have a requirement to complete an update no later than 90 days after the last completion date. Currently, we are tracking these updates with tasks and manually creating a new task when the last task is completed. I am looking for the task creation to be automated and follow the same flow steps of the last. This flow includes updating fields within the task record and creating a change request for the update.
I have created two flows with different triggers that both give recursion errors. Essentially, I need to be able to close one flow and have it automatically kick off the same flow for the next update. The flows are currently configured to automatically close the task once the associated change record is set to closed. How can I avoid recursion errors without forcing a manual process to close/create the task.
Flow 1:
Trigger:
Short Description is [xyz]
and
State changes to [closed complete]
and
Assigned to is [anyone]
The last step of this flow is to update the existing record to closed complete once the associated change is closed, triggering the next task to be created.
Flow 2:
Trigger:
Short Description is [xyz]
and
State changes to [open]
and
Assigned to is [anyone]
In this flow, I have the new task created with a state of pending once the associated change is closed, wait for one minute, then update the new record state to open before ending the flow.
