NSC | SuiteFlow (Workflow Manager) Tip: Checking the Previous Field Values in Workflow Conditions

edited May 8, 2024 7:29PM in Ask A Guru

Workflow Manager supports getting the value of a field prior to record save and reference it on a Workflow Condition.

This feature is useful for requirements having to compare the previous value of a field to the current value of the same field, or to previous value of another field, or to current value of another field, or to a constant value.

Using Visual Builder, select Old Record in the Record column to specify that the previous value of the field is to be referenced. Using Custom Formula, follow syntax {old.fieldID} to do the same.

See screenshots below for examples of each application.
