Fairly certain workflow runs before any other following DML requests are made. Here’s a link I found about this. Help And Training Community

Sweet. Thanks, Pat!

Matt,  Remember that workflow rules run server side whereas Skuid events are client side.  I would expect Skuid events to occur AFTER the Salesforce has completed its processing.  Great question.

Ben looked far off and squinted when asked this question.  After thinking it through,  he said that model save actions don’t fire until the model save has been successful.  This means that all the Server side actions associated with model save will occur before the model action fires. 

I concur with Irvin:  Great Question.

So,
So I have a workflow rule that updates a required field.  How will I update the UI so that I don’t get the required field not set error.

So essentially what I want is:
1) User fills in form.
2) Save happens.
3) Workflow rule will fire in SF that updates a required field.
4) Required field in UI is filled in automatically.
5) Form Saves correctly

Thanks.

Probably the easiest way to get around it is to set some kind of default ‘dummy’ value in the required field in skuid, so that the save can happen. Then your workflow rule will update the field to whatever it ought to be.
