I have a custom choice in the sc_task if that choice is selected the workflow is stopping if the task state is change to closed cancelled(custom choice)

I have created a BR on sc_task to start the work flow again

i have used 

Workflow().broadcastEventToCurrentsContexts(gr, 'update', null) 

 

to start the workflow again but the workflow is not starting again any ideas how to stat the workflow again

 

Thank you,

Gowtham

Please use this workaround and this should work fine.

Business rul

Table: sc_task
When: after update
Condition: State changes to Close Cancelled

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

var wf = new Workflow();
var ri = new GlideRecord("sc_req_item");
if (ri.get(current.request_item)) {
wf.runFlows(ri, 'update');

}
})(current, previous);

Reference:

activity.result = '10' not working for custom state values
