Workflow triggered more than stated in condition

[Jerry_Lan]

Dear all,

Why does workflow trigger more than expected? Here is my workflow trigger condition:

or(
AND( [_THISROW_BEFORE].[PUB To Next User]<> [_THISROW_AFTER].[PUB To Next User], ISNOTBLANK([PUB To Next User]),[PUB To Next User]<>“Draft”),
AND( [_THISROW_BEFORE].[Ace To Next User]<> [_THISROW_AFTER].[Ace To Next User], ISNOTBLANK([Ace To Next User]),[Ace To Next User]<>“Draft”),
AND( [_THISROW_BEFORE].[PUB To Next User 2]<> [_THISROW_AFTER].[PUB To Next User 2], ISNOTBLANK([PUB To Next User 2]),[PUB To Next User 2]<>“Draft”),
AND( [_THISROW_BEFORE].[PUB Ops To Next User]<> [_THISROW_AFTER].[PUB Ops To Next User], ISNOTBLANK([PUB Ops To Next User]),[PUB Ops To Next User]<>“Draft”)
)

The user clicked on an inline table which brings them to a detail view with some editable field. The workflow should trigger only if one of the above columns is edited (shown by <>) . In this latest case, The user went in and did not make any change.It therefore should not trigger but it was triggered.

Thanks

Hard to diagnose as the formula looks right. But try these to give you an idea

1 = In google sheets use the cell edit history to confirm what changed and to what data

2 = Try putting something like this actually in the email body or workflow template to ley you know which triggered

IF(
AND(
[_THISROW_BEFORE].[PUB To Next User]<>[_THISROW_AFTER].[PUB To Next User],
ISNOTBLANK([PUB To Next User]),
[PUB To Next User]<>“Draft”
)
,“Condition 1”
,""
)

Both great idea Simon! Only once in a while, it is triggered more than expected. I am pre-empting before the cIient complains.I will feedback my finds if any…
