I am curious about to know that can we clone existing business process flow and assign it to new custom entity using javascript code?

Any helps will be appreciated.

Thanks in advanced.

    So the workflow will be changed or it will be cloned with new entity?

    Yes it's possible if you have BPF then you can switch process using javascript below method.

    // pass BPF GUID here in below line

    Xrm.Page.data.process.setActiveProcess(procesId, CallBack);

    function CallBack(response) {

    if (response == “success”) {

    alert(“BPF changed !!!”);

    // Save the form

    Xrm.Page.data.entity.save();

    }

    }

    Hi partner,

    Here is a blog about JavaScript with BPF and I'm afraid that there is no related functions with JavaScript.

    In addition, the requirement that you described should be the logic of custom plug-in. 

    You could try to achieve this by using C# code and creating plug-in.

    Here are some samples about how to use C# to operate BPF.

    Hope it helps.

    Best Regards

    Leo
