how do I add tasks based on some condition in to catalog item which has OOB workflow -Item Designer Workflow

[Jay Nendis]

We have a number of existing catalog items that are running the Item Designer workflow. One of the catalog requires us to add a task based on a condition, can anyone advise and share best practices on how to add the task please.

Hi you can use if activity to check the  catalog item. If returns yes do the task creation . If returns No follow the old flow

example:

answer = ifScript();

   function ifScript() {
       var getItemName = current.cat_item; // get cat item name
      if(getItemName == 'sysID of cat_item') {
                   return 'yes';
      }
      return 'no';
   }

Hi Harish KM,

Thank you for your valuable suggestion, may i know where should I apply this script?  is this a BR?

You can use IF activity in Workflow.

You have 2 option,

1. Update the exiting workflow to create the task based on the condition that you want for the specific catalogue item.

2. Create a new workflow / Flow and update the catalogue item to use the new workflow / flow.
