Automatically Advance Workflow Based On Item Details

[j.hendrickson]

Hi, I'm at another loss here.  Is it possible to have a workflow advance (transition performed) without user interaction?  Here's the setup:

• Two checkbox fields on the Item Details tab: Task A and Task B
• Item is in state 03a
• When both checkboxes are checked item is automatically transitioned from state 03a to 03b without requiring anyone to do a Workflow Action

Can this be done and what's the basic methodology to do so?

Thank you!

Hi,

You could consider adding a new OnEdit script that will check to see if the checkbox is selected, and if it is perform the workflow transition to next state.

The method to use is item.performWorkflowTransition().

I hope this helps.

Perfect, that's what I needed. I missed this method in the Scripting Reference but now I see it.

Thank you!
