Is there a way to stop flow designer from running

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 Mark,

Yes it triggered.

Orlando Patch 7

I am not sure any additional options are available on flow properties because I couldn't find it.

Script:

var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');

gr.initialize();
gr.setWorkflow(false);
var sysId = gr.insert();

gs.info(sysId);

Flow:

Output:

I don't believe you ticket the correct answer. I tested this myself, and applying setWorkflow(false) will prevent flows from being triggered.

Hi Mark,

Can you please share which instance version you are referring and which additional configuration?

I can test the same and confirm for Orlando version as the question is for Orlando version.

Just to be on same page.

Hi Mark,

My team lead says it's not working! I will try this myself today and marked the correct answer.

Thanks again!

Hi Guys,

In Orlando patch 7 which I am currently using, the setWorkflow(false) doesn't stop the flow. However, when I tried in Paris, it works!

Thank you again!
