is there way in a flow to stop business rules from running when updating a record

[nlaw]

I am updating a record in flow and when I do that it triggers a business rule that I do not want to run.  The business rule in question is OOTB so I do not want to touch it.  Is there a way to stop the execution of business rules from flow.  I know of the setworkflow(false) method in glide record but that is not helping me in this case.

Hello,

You can use setWorkflow(false) within the action script of the Flow to prevent all Business Rules from being executed.

Hi @nlaw 

setworkflow(false) is the best method to work in your case though it doesn't prevent async business rule.

Alternative  you can see in this post :

@nlaw

OOTB when you use "Update Record" flow action there is nothing available OOTB for this to skip BR execution

@Huynh Loc already shared the workaround and that's the only way to disable BR when using flow.
