    Variables from the old Workflow in the new

    Dear community

     

    I've got a workflow proplem. I've got a Formlibary and when a new item has been created, a workflow will be startet. This workflow starts another one. But now here ist the problem. I need in the new workflow the variables which i've changed in the old one. how can i get them, or to pass them form the old workflow to the new one?

     

    Regards

    Hi Disler,

    Variables are scoped only to the current workflow.

    One work around is to have additinal columns in your library, write the varibles out to these columns during the initial workflow and then read the values back in during the secondary workflow.

    Hi,

    As Rob mentioned this is definately an option.

    Another method would be to pass these variables as start data to your new workflows. This can be done using the Start Workflow action, the process is decribed in much more detail in this thread: http://connect.nintex.com/forums/thread/4564.aspx.

    Please also see this forum post for details on starting the workflow using a web service: http://connect.nintex.com/forums/thread/7324.aspx.

    Cheers.
