Question

Simple Sync Sequence does not seem to work with micro timeframes

Workflow

I am trying to use a simple sync sequence and it does work except when the workflows hit the sequence within 1 second of each other.

For example say I have a workflow that start right off with a simple sync and this workflow starts on entry change.

Then say I have another unrelated workflow set to work with that entry on entry change that instantly changes the entry.

Now I have a user change the entry, this will cause both workflows to kick off. The second unrelated workflow changes the entry causing a second instance of my simple sync workflow to start in less than 1 second of the user making a change.

That's expected behavior. The simple sync sequence only pauses if multiple instances are trying to access the document at the same time and there's a conflict.

Ok, I guess in this instance it is not using the entry but I was expecting it would prevent two workflows from running the same tasks simultaneously.

It does, but from your description, it does not sound like they're running simultaneously.
