setActiveProcess not working?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Ciara Lynch 80

Hi all,

I'm currently customising a Dynamics 365 instance (Version 1710 (9.1.0.12935) online) and was attempting to use the setActiveProcess method to programatically switch between two Business Process Flows - it doesn't seem to be working for me, and this forum post seems to say that this is a known issue.

I couldn't find any other reference to this, so can I get confirmation that this is being fixed (or that I'm possibly doing something wrong)? And does anyone have any alternative method to switching BPFs on change of a field?

Thanks a million.

Kind regards,

Ciara Lynch

    Hello Ciara,

    In the post you are referencing the setActiveProcess method didn't work because the record was in a creation state (it hadn't yet been saved).
    Is that the case also for you?
    As far as I am aware, only a workaround was provided, not a fix.

    If your record already exists when you try to change BPF, then the Client API setActiveProces should work.

    If you are experience issues with it, I also suggest that you reach out to support https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/support

    Hi Henry,

    It appears that my issue is slightly different, as the workaround doesn't seem to change the BPF. It doesn't return any errors either. I'll create a service request as this may be an issue with the instance of Dynamics.

    Thank you for your reply.

    Kind regards,

    Ciara
