Cancel and restart workflow

[josh_brostoff]

I have created a script to cancel and restart a workflow since I can seem to find a way to restart a workflow without canceling all running workflows for a current record.   This script is canceling the current workflow, but not creating a new one.   What is wrong here? pradeepksharma any ideas?

//If planned start date changes, then restart the workflow
if (current.start_date.changes()) {
   //Query for all executing workflow contexts
   var vFlows = new Workflow().getRunningFlows(current);
   while(vFlows.next()){
   //Check for the "Slack Change Pending Approval" workflow
   if(vFlows.workflow_version.getDisplayValue() == 'Slack Change Pending Approval'){
   //Cancel the workflow context
   new Workflow().cancelContext(vFlows);
   }
   }}
   var w = new Workflow();
   var context = w.startFlow('1267b983136c72404562b0322244b05b', current, current.operation(), getVars());
   function getVars() {
   var vars = {};
   for (var n in current.variables)
   vars[n] = current.variables[n];
   return vars;

Hi

The following two lines should be enough

new WorkflowApprovalUtils().cancelAll(current, comment);

new Workflow().restartWorkflow(current);

Its taken from the OOB business rule "SNC Approval - Reset conditions" on the change_request table

Hey Lars - it looks like the lines you mentioned will restart all workflows associated with the record.   I only want to restart one specific workflow.

when i execute this, it throws 'cannot convert null to an object error'

in place of the current object, i am using the gr GlideRecord object.

There's an inactive business rule that comes out of the box named: SNC Approval - Reset conditions

The business rule contains details on how it works and options for handling previous approvals.
