On Demand Workflow from Button

Posted on by Cyclefitness

I am having trouble getting a button configured to run an on demand workflow.  I have followed the instructions from Scott Durow found here: https://ribbonworkbench.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/132235-create-a-workflow-short-cut-ribbon-button-no-code.  Screenshots of the configuration are here:

Error when clicking button 1 or more records selected:

What am I missing?

    Debra,

    Is it button on the grid or on the form of record?

    Hi Andrew ... I only need it on the Default View.

    Debra,

    List and types of parameters are critical. Compare your and Scott's definitions:

    As a first parameters you have to pass SelectedControl instead of SelectedControlSelectedItemReferences that should be passed as second.

    Also I noticed that you pass SelectedEntityTypeName instead of SelectedEntityTypeCode - change this as well.

    Didn't realize the order mattered.  I changed SelectedEntityTypeName to SelectedEntityTypeCode because TechNet says Name is being deprecated.  Let me try your suggestions.

    That worked!  Thanks, Andrew.  Now I know the order is important. ;-)
