(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Jamil Lamyae 5

hello community 

Actually I am tring to create a workflow when a Stage change in the BPF in order to calculate a duration per stage 

The issue is that when I change a stage the workflow(a background workflow) is executed twice ==> in consequence

I got 2 records created in my new entity (stage duration ) per stage per opportunity 

This is my workflow :

7065.Capture-1.PNG

This the system task the workflow is executed twice 

4403.Capture-2.PNG

Consequence 2 records created in the same time 

6560.Capture3.PNG

Anyone had already faced the same issue ? Please let me know 

PS: I work on dynamics crm 2015

    Hi,

    Please check the condition properly in which your workflow is triggering and check what  action you are doing on stage change  like save , update  under  stage change operation whether its  JS/ plugin/workflow itself  . You can not control running workflow twice by putting additional validation , but you can skip your code where you are doing additional action  by which workflow triggering twice.

    So I believe you  can do this , as you are aware of the functionality where you are doing what.

    Hi,

    If you are using separate date field to capture the duration, then it will resolve, if you check the field value is null then only update. Because if it is already filled with your 1st update then it will stop the workflow in the second execute.

    THANKS a lot Sreevalli

    That's true, I had a save() in javascript that's caused the double executing of my workflow

    But what do you mean by : 'Make sure of having check condition on date before updating' which kind of check in condition ?

    Hi,

    you must be having any other trigger on stage/all fields update. check it in plugin registration tool.

    Make sure of having check condition on date before updating.
