How to insert a child Dialogue into a Process

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have created a Dialogue as a Child process.  The related entity is Opportunity.  I would like to run it from another Parent Opportunity Workflow.

In the Parent Opportunity Workflow, I selected Add Step, Start Child Workflow for Opportunity.  When I click the lookup button to select a value, the Child Process is not displayed in the lookup list.  FYI, both processes are activated.  Any suggestions?

    I changed my automatic process to a child process and called it in the dialogue.  That seems to solve my problem.  Thank you very much for your quick responses.  It truly helped.

    The reason for this is that Dialogs are a type of process that runs only on demand...workflows can run automatically.

    From what I understand then it is not possible to run a Dialogue from an automatic Workflow?  I will try what you suggest above.  Thank you for replying so quickly.

    Can the steps on the "child dialogue" be created into a child workflow?

    I have never used a child dialogue inside a dialogue. I could do some testing next week but I wanted to see if we can solve this today.
