Comparing previous value

Hi,

 

We are used to Nintex workflows, and we have a workflow that starts on an item update, and compare a previous value of a field with current value. Now that we moved to K2 , we would like to have same type of workflow and compare previous value and current value of a field. However, I couldn't find that on K2.

 

My understanding is that Nintex they use event receiver, because with that you can access parameter of a save item event and then you can get the previous value and current value during saving process. Is there a way to run K2 as an event process on sharepoint list so we could access these values?

 

Thank you for any insights.

Are you expecting to be able to see the current value of the list item and the previous value of the list item for comparison? I am not sure that is possible with K2 due to where the K2 workflow gets kicked off in the event receiver's life cycle as the workflow generally is started after the metadata has already been comitted.
