Hi Experts,

We have a requirement where we need to create a copy of a record. What I did is I created a ribbon JavaScript that calls a Workflow. This Workflow has a Custom Workflow that creates the record and associated record to it.

Now, I want to open the newly created record on click of the button. How do I pass the ID from Custom Workflow back to JavaScript ?

Below is my JavaScript code to call the Workflow. I have a button in Main and in Form.

Hi,

You can't get value from workflow, but you can use action for this and you can reuse your workflow code, in action and action can return you guid of the record which you can open later on.

Agree with Mahen. You need to create a workflow with output paramters and call your workflow within the custom action and set the output parameters. Something like this-

Hi,

As suggested above custom action can do this for you. Call your custom activity as step in Custom Action and you can get output parameters.

Thanks.

Workflow is asynchronous and it will not return output parameter in your script. If you make it synchronous then it might help you.

Otherwise Create an action, Call your custom assembly in it and you will get output parameters in script response.
