Overview
In some use workflow state automatic change may be wanted when document in workflow is changed and new version of document is created.This can be done with script set in workflow state transition.
Please notice that scripting is not part of standard support and this is just an example script to show how to use API. Be aware that all scripts are run at your own risk.
Solution
Let's assume the following workflow:Setting the following script to state transition between Approved state and Draft states makes the workflow state change when new version of object is created (for example when document or it's metadata changes).
Option Explicit
' Moves object back to Draft state if approved object data has been changed.
Dim iCurrentStateID
iCurrentStateID = PropertyValues.SearchForProperty(39).TypedValue.GetLookupID
' Double-checks that older versions exist on the server
Dim ObjectVersions
Set ObjectVersions = Vault.ObjectOperations.GetHistory(ObjVer.ObjID)
If ObjectVersions.Count > 1 Then
Dim ObjVerPreviousVersion
Set ObjVerPreviousVersion = ObjectVersions.Item(2).ObjVer
' Get the workflow state of the previous version
Dim iPreviousStateID
iPreviousStateID = Vault.ObjectPropertyOperations.GetProperty(ObjVerPreviousVersion, 39).TypedValue.GetLookupID
If iCurrentStateID = iPreviousStateID Then
AllowStateTransition = True
End If
End If
' Moves object back to Draft state if approved object data has been changed.
Dim iCurrentStateID
iCurrentStateID = PropertyValues.SearchForProperty(39).TypedValue.GetLookupID
' Double-checks that older versions exist on the server
Dim ObjectVersions
Set ObjectVersions = Vault.ObjectOperations.GetHistory(ObjVer.ObjID)
If ObjectVersions.Count > 1 Then
Dim ObjVerPreviousVersion
Set ObjVerPreviousVersion = ObjectVersions.Item(2).ObjVer
' Get the workflow state of the previous version
Dim iPreviousStateID
iPreviousStateID = Vault.ObjectPropertyOperations.GetProperty(ObjVerPreviousVersion, 39).TypedValue.GetLookupID
If iCurrentStateID = iPreviousStateID Then
AllowStateTransition = True
End If
End If
