Run If item field is modified help


Badge +4

Hi guys, I am planning to combine my list workflows, I want a specific thing to happen when the item's field is modified

 But since I'm combining 2 separate workflows into one. I want to use the Run if function to carry out this out instead of using the workflow settings, but I can't seem to find an option like the one above on the Run If function Config,  can anyone help with this thank you.

unfortunatelly, from within the workflow, there is access to fields' previous value(s).

you would need 2 small starter workflows that conditionally starts on respective field change, and which in turn would start your combined workflow. you could handover which field was changed via a workflow input parameter

Oh thanks for the reply. Because I'm trying to combine my workflows to decrease the overall number of total workflows on my list. Is there any other way to do it.

smaller is better, if we talk about workflows.

number of workflows on the list doesn't cause any problems, whereas (big) size could.
