Creating Required Affected Item Workflows Criteria
I have specific workflows I want to make the affected item tab required in order to move to a certain status. I need to do this without using a process extension.
My Workflow Matching Criteria is set to “Same”. We have other criteria at each workflow so I was not sure how changing this would affect the other criteria.
I have tried the following

I have tried the following
– Creating criteria based on the ClassObject and SubclassObject with the Item Number or Lifecycle is an exit required field with no luck. These are not available attributes.
– Creating criteria where the “Affected Item is Not Null”….but not sure where to go with this one.
Hi, the 1st option you tried looks close but won’t check if there are Affected items, only when there are Affected items they will have the specified fields filled in. – the “Exit Required Field” does not have the Change Orders.Affected Items.Number field
Susan –
If you want to prevent the Workflow itself from being used on a change that doesn’t contain affected items you should add the “Affected Item is Not Null” parameter to your Workflow Matching Criteria.
If it is okay to select the Wor
kflow itself without affected items, but Affected Items are required to enter a specific status – you should be able to add the “Affected Item is Not Null”parameter to all of the status criteria for that particular status. This way – if there is an attempt
to change to this status without affected items, the “If no criteria apply at exit” property is applied.
(I tried to post this all together – looks like some sort of bug)
