text area field length condition in workflow

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:22PM in Ask A Guru 3 comments

In task records, if message field is more than 1000 characters, I would like to use workflow to copy the message to a custom field - long message backup.

The workflow is going well except the text area field length condition part.

  • Under the Condition section, select the Custom Formula

On the Formula field, enter this code, for testing purpose I set up the length to be 5:

nlapiGetFieldValue('message').length>parseInt('5')

Anything wrong with the code in custom formula? Without the condition, the workflow works fine. With this condition, the workflow stop working no matter what's the length of message.

Howdy, Stranger!
