Is there a way to stop flow designer from running

[JLeong]

Is there a way to stop a flow designer from running?

example:

setWorkflow(false);   //Do not run business rules

autoSysFields(false);  //Do not update system fields

Thank you!

Hi there,

setWorkflow(false) actually already prevents Flows from running. setWorkflow(false) is not intended only for Business Rules.

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

You cannot stop flow from triggering using setWorkflow(false) since the flow engine is a scripted engine.

refer link below

Using setWorkflow(false) doesn't stop Flow Designer flows from executing?

Ankur,

Did you also test this? I mean I tested this, and it does stop the Flow from triggering.

You are also referencing a topic from a year old. Since then, a lot of changes have been applied on Flow Designer. For example the change in working on the "Run Business Rules" checkbox.

Kind regards,
Mark
