Field not updating as part of Workflow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Good morning everyone!

We have a workflow that updates a lookup field on the Work order form, once a case is converted into a Work Order.  This field was being updated without any issues until last week.  No changes were made to the system, nor the workflow.

The issue is; the field no longer automatically updates the lookup field until after the form is changed.  When I convert a case into a Work Order, the lookup field is blank.  But when I change the form, the field updates itself.  It's almost like the form needs to refresh in order for the lookup field to be updated.

Any ideas?  I've pasted a screenshot of the Workflow below.  As I have said previously, the issue doesn't seem to be with the workflow itself, as it has been functioning properly until recently.

    That was it.  

    We've never used Real Time workflows before.  Great learning experience here.

    Thanks for the quick replies!

    You have to make it a real-time workflow. Otherwise, it may take some time(up to a few minutes) before the workflow actually starts.

    The workflow is initiated upon record creation. Below is screenshot of the complete Process properties and the definition of the workflow as well:

    Hello Pete,

    Can you take a Screenshot of the entire definition of the Workflow? I mean, the entire window

    Hi Pete,

     is this a real-time workflow?
