Hi Pratap,

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

// This business Rule will trigger Breakfix Return Workflow when State changes from In Use to In Maintenance

var wflw = new Workflow();

wflw.startFlow(wflw.getWorkflowFromName('give the workflow name'), current, 'update');

})(current, previous);
