Hi,

1. https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/reference/api/sandiego/server_legacy/c_WorkflowAPI#r_WF-st...

You can use this script to trigger workflow from script

Remember UI Action should be server side

triggerWorkflow();

function triggerWorkflow(){

var wf1 = new Workflow();
wf1.startFlow(wf1.getWorkflowFromName('give the workflow name'), current, 'update');

}
I would insist if possible make the workflow trigger based on the proper condition

2. Workflow need trigger condition to trigger,so you can give trigger condition by UI Action so workflow will trigger by UI Action.

If you have any hidden string field in your form then push some value on them and give this value as workflow trigger condition.

if not then in push any string field as below...

it will definitely work ...

if face any issue then please ask..!

Mark correct or helpful if it helps you.

function triggerWorkflow(){

var wf1 = new Workflow();
wf1.startFlow(wf1.getWorkflowFromName('give the workflow name'), current, 'update');

}

but workflow not triggered when i click on ui button.
