Scripting a delay in a wait-for condition

[tahnalos]

Hello all.

I have a wait for condition in my workflow that is supposed to look at a field and run if the field is a particular value.   That field is being set by a UI action.

The problem I am having is that the wait for condition does not trigger when the UI action is pressed.   If I press the UI action again, then it runs.   I am strongly suspecting that the issue involves some sort of delay when the UI action is run so I would like to have the wait for condition have a delay built in before evaluating the field.

Ideas on how I can accomplish this?

Thanks

Can you share with us the details of your UI action and waitfor condition?

Workflow Wait For Condition:

if (current.u_reject_reason == 'reschedule')

  answer = true;

else

  answer = false;

UI Action:

resubmitSchedule();

action.setRedirectURL(current);

function resubmitSchedule ()

{

  current.u_reject_reason = 'reschedule';

  current.update ();

}

I'm thinking a delay needs to be coded either after the update on the UI Action or before the if on the Workflow Wait For Condition.   If I press the UI Action again, it works.

That's interesting. Have you tried using the good old field chooser instead of a script for the Waitfor condition? Example below:

The current.update() in your UI action kicks off the workflow updater and business rules on that record. They should be happening in the right order.

I actually did.   Same result.   In fact, it was actually in its non-script form before I converted to a script for debugging.
