Move to a specific status depended on a field

[Idan Naamad]

Hi All,

I want to make a condition that will lead me to a specific status only if a field in a screen is marked.

i have a workflow with 9 statuses, i want that the 5th status will be in the workflow prosses only if a custom field is marked, the custom field is in a transition screen from 3rd to 4th status.

can i make it happen? 

thanks!

Hi @Idan Naamad

worth a try is the "Regular Expression Check" Validator:

It should not matter that the value is set in an earlier state - but the change to the 5th state should then only be possible if the value of the field matched your regular expression.

For conditions there is a "Value Field" condition.

This could be an alternative if you do not want to show the transition unless the criteria is met, like John explained.

Regards,
Daniel

Hi Idan,

You could do that by adding a condition to the transition do the 5th status. If the value is not there, then the transition doesn't even show up.

Or you could add a validator, which would still show the transition, but would fail if the value was missing in the field.

What type of condition or validator? i need this to react to a specific answer in a custom field.

thanks

One more thing i forgot to mention, the custom field is in a transition screen between the 2nd and 3rd status, the status i want to avoid is the 5th status, which means that the condition is filled not in the transition the the status i want to skip...

I would use a Field Required validator and check to make sure the field you populated in the previous transitions is not empty.
