Conditional start when a specific item field is modified for the second time

I haven't tried this, but I guess you would need to add a counter to your form.

1. Add an integer field and you can hide it. You might name it "[field name] Filled Count"


2. Then add a rule to the field you need to measure when it is filled for the second time.
   
   
   
   1. If [Field Name] is filled then set the value of [field name] Filled Count
   
   
   2. When setting the value, use a the following formula:
      
      
      
      • sum([Form].[field name Filled Count] + 1)
      
      
      
      
   
   
   
   


3. You should then be able to use the [field name] Filled Count in your start rule to start when [field name] Field Count = 2.


4. I did a short test of the rule logic and I was seeing a weird behavior. Each time the field was filled, it populated the [field name] Filled Count by 100. So the second time it was filled it returned 200, the third time 300, etc. If you get the same behavior, you can start the workflow if it equals 200.

Post a reply if you try this and you get it to increment by 1 instead of 100.
