Get knowledge article field in KB publishing workflow

[kim-lindgren]

Hi,

I have a requirement to do a logical check after approval in the Knowledge publishing workflow. If the article's Updated by is NOT equal to the manager of a particular group, meaning that the approver changed something in the article, then an additional approver is created for the manager. How do I get the field 'updated_by'?

I have tried with simply writing updated_by, but also current.updated_by and current.variables.updated_by but nothing works. This is in a script in an "If" workflow activity.

Many kudos if someone can help me.

Regards,

Kim

Hi @kim-lindgren ,

You can get the updated by name using "current.sys_updated_by". You add this in if condition and return yes and no. Based on output you can trigger additional flow.

Of course, it's sys_updated_by, not updated_by. I should know this by now.

Many thanks, Runjay.
