Calling a workflow inside a workflow

[Geeky]

How can I call a workflow inside a workflow?

E.g. I have a form and a field called Workflow which is a reference field to the wf_workflow table.

I have the main workflow and inside that one more workflow should be called by fetching the data from the field which I created.

I know how to fetch the workflow id from the reference field I created inside the main workflow but unable to find how can I trigger a workflow with workflow id?

not useful. I already read that but it's not explaining how can I invoke it from workflow id dynamically.

use below code to trigger workflow from run script activity in your parent workflow.

var wflw = new Workflow();


wflw.startFlow(wflw.getWorkflowFromName('give the workflow sys_id_from your reference variable'), current, 'update');

Below code worked with some modification from your code. Passed name instead of sys_id.

But I want to pass sys_id

var wflw = new Workflow();


wflw.startFlow(wflw.getWorkflowFromName('Workflow Name not sys id'), current, 'update');
