The workflow button shows perfectly on a 'standard' form that I created, however, it doesn't seem to be able to show on a form part.

I can confirm that the 'canSubmitToWorkflow' method on the table returns 'True'.

EDIT:

I have also setup the form part like you would any other form you want to see workflow on.

Hi Brad,

As mentioned below, I think that indeed this will not work. The workflow logic is trying to add navigation elements to the top page action menu with some validations. A form part does not have a top-page menu bar. You can add action menu elements, but that is not the same as used on a details form page.

Thanks everyone for the responses! The business use case here is to have the workflow button on a form part that is in a workspace. (In the tabbed section).

I have setup everything as you would on a standard form and I don't see it showing up. I don't believe it will work but thought I would ask.

If it is already present at form level, then workflow is not actually required at form part level.

If it is a requirement that you can submit from part level too, then did you write same canSubmitToWorkflow at form level and provided the properties of workflow at form design level?

Hi @b_radlyjames,

Actually, I don't work or see any form part has a workflow, but are you sure of the requirement?
Can you share the setup that you did?

Hi Brad,

This is an interesting question. I have never tried it, but I doubt if it will work. Can you tell the business scenario for this requirement? That is just for my interest.
