Workflow().broadcastEventToCurrentsContexts(gr, 'update', null) is not starting the Workflow

Gowtham Kodali · ‎08-23-2020

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

@Gowtham Kodali

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

Hi,

To actually hard reset and hard restart the workflow, follow this community entry. Remember to also cancel the active workflow as described here.
