Will Retrieve Field Values Work in Invoked Workflow?

asked on January 27, 2015

We have a workflow process that invokes another workflow called Process Employee Files. The Process Employee Files workflow can run separately without being first invoked by the first workflow based on its own set of starting rules.

The only values the "Process Employee Files" workflow needs to work correctly are values from the metadata fields that are assigned to the documents. If I invoke the "Process Employee Files" workflow from another workflow, will the Retrieve Field Values activity work correctly or do I need to pass those values using input parameters?

When invoking a workflow you specify a starting entry, which behaves just like a normal starting entry in a triggered workflow. Assuming that Process Employee Files is a triggered workflow and uses a starting entry for the Retrieve Field Values activity and you can pass in a suitable starting entry from the invoking workflow, then you shouldn't need to use input parameters.
