Workflow Launch on Attribute Value Change

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are trying to launch a Workflow for any change in the Taxonomy table. But at the moment its launching the workflow only on changes in the Taxonomy nodes and not on changes in attribute / attribute value.

Has anybody faced this issue or can anyone suggest solution / work around for same.

Hi Parul,

I can suggest one workaround.

Create two fields of type Text Large and copy the attribute value in the first field on creation of new record. This should be done using the assignment and workflow. Now whenever the record gets modified, launch a workflow containing assignment step which put the value of attribute in the second field. Also trigger one workflow containing a branch step with validation which checks the values of both the fields created, if there is a difference then Attribute has been modified and you can then accordingly create the steps which should be executed on attribute change and if not simply stop the workflow.

In addition don't forget to update the first field with the new attribute value and clear the value from second field. So that this should work for another attempts as well.

Note: This is for only one attribute, you can append the entries in the Text Large fields and in validation check the values according to the positions if you want to have this functionality for more than one attribute.

Hi Jitesh,

Creation of Assignment is not possible for the Attribute Values in Taxonomy mode. We don`t have any option to write Assignment in this mode.

Hi Parul,

You dont have to write assignments on Attributes, you have to use the attribute values and put it in the text large field. For accessing the attribute value, you need to create a branch assignment.

Hi Parul,

Current versions of MDM doesn't support launching of workflow on Attribute changes.

Try for some other solution.

Hi,

Since workflow records not getting triggered on change of the values of attributes in the taxonomy; lets try this....

Since Taxonomy nodes & attributes are linked wt Main table; for a particular record->Tanonomy node->Taxonomy attribute->right click & modify text value->add/modify/delete the values and choose the same or different->Save the main record.

if you would have already defined the workflow record triggering auto on update of main table record.

thanks,

Alexander.

Which step its failing.....

for a particular record->

1. Tanonomy node->Taxonomy attribute->right click & modify text value->

2. add/modify/delete the values and choose the same or different value assign the same to main record

3. Save the main record.

thanks

Hi Alexander,

When we add/modify/delete the attribute value , after that immedistely the Workflow should launch, but the same is not happening.
