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;

I was trying to restart a request item workflow.   This business rule seems to be just for the change request table.

Did you get this working?

Hi Josh, did you find a solution to this? I am also trying to also restart one workflow in a situation where there is 2 assigned to a change request both in cancel state. 

Thanks
