Hi all, i guess all of us know that bpf can change its path depending on the value of a field. If the user changes its value, the path changes. 

But if that value was set programatically via javascript (using setValue of the corresponding attribute), the path didn't get updated.

I'm open to supported and unsupported way of either:

1) update/refresh the path of the bpf to get it to "reflow"

2) fire a changed event on the bpf header field to achieve 1)

3) fire an attribute changed event of the bpf to achieve 1)

Thanks!

    I recently did something similar but that was through a custom WFA to change the stage

    I recently did something like this with Lead

                 string fetchXMLLead =

                                  "<fetch mapping='logical'>" +

                                      "<entity name='lead'>" +

                                          "<attribute name='stageid' />" +

                                          "<attribute name='processid' />" +

                                          "<attribute name='statecode' />" +

                                          "<filter type='and'>" +

                                              "<condition attribute='leadid' operator='eq' value='" + context.PrimaryEntityId.ToString().Replace("}", "").Replace("}", "") + "' />" +

                                          "</filter>" +

                                      "</entity>" +

                                  "</fetch>";

                  EntityCollection entCollectionLead = Service.RetrieveMultiple(new FetchExpression(fetchXMLLead));

                  if (entCollectionLead.Entities.Count > 0)

                  {

                      CurrentLeadRecord = entCollectionLead.Entities[0];

                      string currentLeadRecordStatusValue = ((OptionSetValue)CurrentLeadRecord["statecode"]).Value.ToString();

                      if (currentLeadRecordStatusValue.Equals(StateValueForOpen))

                      {

                          changeStage("Propose");

                      }

                      else

                      {

                          changeStage("Close");

                      }

                  }

    well for those who needs it - it turns out it was very easy - after you did a setvalue on the corresponding bpf attribute, you have to call fireOnChange(). That will trigger the attribute on change and eventually bubble up to the bpf, which will in turn update the path.
