I have a workflow expected to fire on a change in the Change Timestamp field (When Status is updated) but I also have the Reset on Edit turned on for the same field. How does the timing work with regard to a workflow update? Is it as follows?
The workflow is not firing consistently and weโve been trying to pin this problem down for months as thereโs no consistent pattern.
Is it possible the field resets before the workflow can fire?
Well I use just a hidden โRUN_WFโ column.
And then I group 2 actoins: (1)Set value of โRUN_WFโ to โRunโ, and a reset (2)Set value of โRUN_WFโ to โโ.
Then in WF set it to fire only on UPDATES and if [RUN_WF] =โRunโ.
Also perfect to make child records fire in the right orderโฆ
Reset on edit? is applied when the row update begins (e.g., when the form is opened, or the action begins). The ChangeTimestamp is set when the watched column(s} is (are) first modified. I would expect the Reset on edit? change to trigger the ChangeTimestamp.
Keep in mind that workflows are performed on the server when the row update arrives there.
