Restart an approval process if amount has changed

Hello,

I have a WF built in NAC that uses a Branch by stage action depending on 3 conditions. Under each branch I have condition actions looking for an amount, how many months and if a field is “ticked” to yes or no (boolean).

If in the middle of the process an amount is changed, the stage would need to be exited and the instance would need to cycle back around and be reevaluated, conditions checked so that it can fall into the correct stage.

I noticed that when I exit the stage to cycle back through, it falls into the same stage. Its like it continues to see the original values and not the new ones…

How are new values that are updated in the form able to be recognized so that the instance will fall into the right stage?

Hi ​@jpacheco,

My apologies for the late reply, but I was on leave.
All you need to do is move the approval process to its own branch(stage)  in the branch-by-stage action. Any time you want to re-run the approval process, you just change to that stage. An alternative would be to call a component workflow that reruns the approval process.

Hi ​@jpacheco,

I think the issue with the strange behavior is because of this line in the help files for the action

“When there are multiple Change stage actions in a branch, only the last one is executed.”

Instead of embedding another branch by stage action inside of a branch by stage action, I would be more inclined to jump to another stage to execute the approval process.
