Workflow to Approve Form

asked on March 13, 2014

We have a customer who would like workflow to verify the data validity on a submitted form. If accurate then it files it like normal.  If incorrect, then it sends the form back to the user to update.  The customer does not want to create a new form if it is incorrect, they want the same form instance to route the form back to the user.  Is there a way to have Workflow approve a form without writing a custom script that updates Form's SQL database directly?  I am hoping for a way through possibly the "HTTP Form Post" activity or some other method for Workflow to interact with Forms.

There is currently no way to do this out of the box. The request has been made several times in Laserfiche Answers and Laserfiche has commented on providing that type of functionality in a future version.

Thanks, I found several promising answers in the old support forums, but those links are erroring out for me today.  I also dug through Answers and found people wanting to do similar items, such as have Workflow monitor emails for its own approval process or Workflow start a form process, but none for my exact question.  If you happen to find those same topics in Answers I would appreciate you posting links to them here so I can see if those users found other ways around this limitation.
