How to Cancel the workflow execution through UI Action

[Suzy]

Hi All,

I have written the below code but nothing is working. Please suggest.

Please note that the UI Action is on my custom table.

function withdraw(){
     if(confirm('Are you sure you want to cancel this request?')){
         //Call the UI Action and skip the 'onclick' function
         gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'loaner_res_withdraw'); //MUST call the 'Action name' set in this UI Action
         return true;   //Abort submission
     }
     return false;
}
// Server side code


if(typeof window == 'undefined')
     serverLoanerWithdraw();

function serverLoanerWithdraw(){
   current.active=false;
   current.state=5;
	var workflow= new Workflow();
   //workflow.cancel(current); // this doesn't work, if this line is removed the rest of the action works
   action.setRedirectURL(current);
   current.update();

}

Hi Suzy,

No worries. As you've implemented this on a custom table you may need to shed some light.

My feeling is by setting it active=false and the state=5 at the same time maybe causing a conflict. Does the table extend task by any chance? Do you have any rules that trigger by setting the record active=false?

Thats where I would start.

Try commenting out the activate=false as you're setting the state anyway.

To help others, please mark correct and/or helpful.

Thanks,

Robbie
