SharePoint 2010 Designer Workflow
How to create a SPD workflow to PAUSE on a date field, this date field keeps moving many times by many users never a static value
If the date is static and no one changes the date field value the Out of the box "Pause on date works" but if it changes the "Pending Workflow" resumes pause on original date value.
We have a SharePoint custom list with a date field when user 1 inputs the value on the date field, the SPD Workflow is Paused on that original value, but if user 2 updates the form with a updated date value, the SPD workflow does not pick up the new value and send the email on the original date, not the updated date.
Does any one have an example of a successful SharePoint Designer Workflow that can do the following
- Pause until [Date Field (12/01/2013)]
- keeps checking EVERY NIGHT if the date value has change (looping)
- If the date value is changed from [Date Field] value(12/01/2013) to (01/01/2014)
- STOP WORKFLOW and log, or Cancel or terminate the PENDING workflow programatically (not manually by a person)
- set the workflow to PAUSE on date new value (01/01/2014)
- loop again to check if the value changes
- If the date value is changed from (01/01/2014) to (02/01/2014)
- STOP WORKFLOW and log, or Cancel or terminate the PENDING workflow programatically (not manually by a person)
- set the workflow to PAUSE on date new value (02/01/2014)
- keep looping until...
- TODAY = [DateField] than send email and do other workflow tasks that were pending on
So far we have tried multiple separate workflows, one that checks if the value changes, the other one to set a flag if it changed, other workflows to Pause if the flag is set to YES and pause if today() is = to the [DateField] value, that works until the value changes.
STOP WORKFLOW and log, does not work on a workflow that is PAUSED on date, we have to manually terminate the workflow
