Set field to previous value In Workflow

asked on August 22, 2016 Show version history

In a workflow process I would like to change a value to the previous value.  Is this possible?

 

Here is the scenario.  I have a status field that the users can change to "Completed".  When this field is changed to "Completed" a workflow process executes.  The first thing the workflow does it verify some of the other fields are filled out correctly.  If they are not then I want the workflow to set the status field back to the value it was before it was marked "Completed".

You could have a field called previous value that no one could see, where you store the value of status using another workflow.

When user change value of  status, it would be complete but previous value would still be the actual value.

Another way of doing this would be to use a DB Table that keeps a record of Entry ID vs Status.

How do you make a field hidden ("that no one could see"...)?

Through Field Security in the administration console.

Make sure your workflow has all the access rights to that field but no other user.
