Is this workflow being triggered by the Forms instance? You can only set the variables on an active instance when the workflow is triggered by that instance.

Also, is "Started by Laserfiche Forms" checked in the workflow properties? This makes sure all the Forms-related tokens are tracked and available.

If you're on a recent enough version of Forms, the instance history/details will allow you to click the workflow activity to see the values it posted back.

You might just need to check the box to Wait for the workflow to finish. Without this it will only start the workflow, not wait for a response back.

Yes to all questions:  It was set to Wait, it is a Workflow activity in Forms that kicks off the workflow.  I do have, in the workflow, the "Started by a LF Form" clicked on.  I am on Forms 11 but using the Classic Design and I believe Workflow is still the latest 10 version.

It looks like the problem is probably with trying to insert a multi-value token into a table. I'm not sure how you could insert line by line into your table from a multi-value token within the Set Business Process Variables activity.  

Do I need to configure Input and Output Parameters for the workflow?  I've never done that before, but then I've never successfully updated a form from workflow before either.  

Craig,

A multi-value token is the correct way to update a table. Workflow can only run Set Business Process Variables once; if it is added to a workflow multiple times, like in a loop, only the latest value would actually be sent to Forms.

Connie,

Open up the instance data for one of the tests you ran and take a look at your Workflow activity. You don't need to set up input/output parameters, but from the instance data you can click on the workflow activity to see what values it sent, if any.

Jason, thanks for setting me straight.  I wasn't sure if that's where Connie's problem was or not.

Jason, re instance data... when I look at my workflow, I can see that it did fill the tokens correctly.  I'm not sure what else to look at.  There are no error messages.  When I look at the Activities tab on the workflow that ran, I see the Set BP Variables as the last task of the wf.  It says completed, but it took 0ms so... kinda confirms it didn't actually do anything, but... why... ?

There is nothing under the Entries tab, and nothing under the Business Process tab.  Should there be?  Oh, under Parameters, it does show the BPinstance as 36779 and the submission id as 78191, which I can confirm was the one that was submitted just before the workflow was to kick in.  Oh, and the workflow line on the form history is submission id 78192.  

Hi Connie,

When I mention the instance history, I'm not referring to the Workflow, I'm referring to Forms.

In Forms, when you go into Monitoring and open the instance, the workflow activity will be clickable and show the data that was passed in.

Does the table you're trying to update exist on the Supervisor Review form, or is it only included on a subsequent form?

In this case, yes it does because I haven't split the form up into stages yet.  I like to wait until the whole process is working perfectly before splitting it up into stages so I can control who sees what at their own reviews.  So, yes.  One form.

Make sure in the Forms table field configuration that you have the radio option selected to append rows by a lookup or variable.

That radio option shouldn't be required. I have an active Forms business process that populates tables/collections via workflow and not all of them have that option enabled.
