Previously, if you had a workflow that contained more than one action set to execute on the Before Field Edit trigger on the same triggering field, only the first action in the workflow would execute. This issue did not happen with other triggers.
The following is an example of the issue with the Before Field Edit trigger on the same triggering field:
- A workflow designer creates a workflow set to execute on the sales order record type triggered by the Before Record Load trigger.
- The designer adds the Set Field Display Label action to the workflow with the trigger Before Field Edit. The triggering field is the Date field.
- The designer adds the Set Field Mandatory action to the workflow with the trigger Before Field Edit. The triggering field is the same Date field that triggers the Set Field Display Label action.
- The date changes on any sales order.
Expected result: Both the Set Field Display Label and Set Field Mandatory actions should execute.
Actual result: Only the Set Field Display Label action executes. The Set Field Mandatory action does not execute.
What is Changing?
The issue with multiple actions triggered on the same field by the Before Field Edit trigger has been fixed and will no longer create execution errors in your workflows. After this change takes effect, multiple actions on a workflow that execute on the Before Field Edit trigger on the same triggering field will all execute as expected.
The change will occur in sandbox and production accounts on March 20, 2024.
