Hello everybody,
I have a workflow on a library that I want to start conditionally depending on when a new item is created of a specific content type. However, I don't seem to have the option for a conditional start on new items available! I can select only Yes or No.
How can I resolve this?
Kind regards,
Yvette
Unfortunately it's that way, at least for SP on-premise; O365 seems to allow for a conditional on-create workflow. Uploading a document is done while you enter the metadata in the New web form, so there is "no" actual metadata to use in the conditional start. So first give the following a try: in stead of using the on-create go ahead and create the workflow to run conditionally when modified.
If that does not work as you envisioned, would either of the following be an acceptable workaround?

Thank you, Jean-Pierre!
I needed the workflow to only start on newly created document sets of the type Dossier. Team members are registered (metadata) by the team leader upon creating the new dossier and the workflow takes care of workspace and unique doc set permissions along with a notification to the team.
I now simply added a form to the workspace homepage that can be used for creating the document set and had the workflow run on the list.
