More Workflow Actions

At the moment, you must choose a Change Status page when changing status. Can this be optional (ie a None option in the list). the comments page slows users down, and is sometimes unneccesary in some circumstances.

You can run triggers on all records by choosing "Run Triggers" in Triggers section on Object View page. We can also develop a new type of Batch Jobs for this.

Hey Pavel...sorry, I'm not looking to make batch updates. I'm wanting my "workflow action" to be able to update a field without changing the objects status. At the moment, workflow action only offers the following options:







what would be great if you could add to this list:

1. Update field

2. Object Script

exactly the same as you have in the triggers options.

here is the triggers options

What you've listed is implemented as triggers. Triggers do run automatically on certain conditions. So you can create this condition: make a check box "Run triggers" and check it.

This can be implemented as a special type of workflow actions, please talk to Matt Robinson about it.

Actually the best solution would be to use Workflow Status. Create a new Status S1 and set up triggers to run when status is changed to S1.

I could do that, but I don't want my status to change. I could setup triggers to change it back again, but it becomes a messy hack. The other way would be much cleaner.



Also, I don't want the status change page to show.

OK, I can do that. You owe me a beer.

Matt,

The current options for this are to use the status change page or use triggers. We will not be adding a new workflow action type and special page type for this in the short term, but your suggestion is a good one.

Thanks,
Matt
