Show workflow based of entity field value

Hello,

is it possible to show a Workflow only if a value on the related Entity is matched?

I.e. you have an Entity with a field “type”. Now you assign two different workflows
to that entity. Now if “type” has a certain value we want to show Workflow 1, if it has another value we want to show Workflow 2.

Best Regards

Hi Rick,

You can check that at preconditions for the start transaction to hide the buttons, like

YAML

preconditions: '@equal': [$entity.relatedEntity.type, 'first_workflow_allowed_type']

1 2	preconditions:   '@equal': [$entity.relatedEntity.type, 'first_workflow_allowed_type']

Also, take a look at exclusive_active_groups and priority to allow only one workflow of the group to be active

Hi Andrey,

thank you for your quick reply.

However if i just add the precondition the buttons are hidden but you can still see the workflow.
When i set exclusive_active_groups only one workflow can be active (shown) no matter the precondition.

It looks like its not doable without overwriting/adding custom code.

You are right, Rick.

The information about available workflows is always shown out of the box. You have to customize the template or the function that pass data to the template.

I would like to add an additional WorkflowApplicabilityFilter whichs checks if a certain condition
is met.

Is there a way to extend the WorkflowConfiguration to add an additional node (entity_conditions)
which i can set in the workflow.yml file like:

imports: ... workflows: someworkflow: ... entity_conditions: - '@equal': [$entity.type.id, 'some_type_id']

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

imports:     ...   workflows:     someworkflow:         ...                 entity_conditions:             - '@equal': [$entity.type.id, 'some_type_id']

Thanks for your help in advance
