Workflows; Version 2; 'Skip to Item Group' outcome functionality changed
The functionality of the 'Skip to Item Group' outcome for Workflow Items has changed for Version 2 type Workflows.
The original functionality worked as per Version 1 type Workflows (which remain unchanged):
- Complete the item from which the 'Skip to Item Group' outcome was being actioned
- Skip all remaining items in the Current Item Group
- Flag the Current Item Group as 'Skipped' (providing not actioning an Item Group)
- Add a new Item Group to the END of the Workflow
The above behaviour has been changed for Version 2 type Workflows since it only works in a limited number of scenarios; mainly, when the Workflow does not contain any Item Groups after the Current Item Group.
The new functionality works as follows, in all scenarios:
- Complete the item from which the 'Skip to Item Group' outcome was being actioned
- Skip all remaining items in the Current Item Group
- Flag the Current Item Group as 'Skipped' (providing not actioning an Item Group)
The above steps are as per Version 1 functionality. The following steps are the new behaviour:
- If there is an Item Group in the Workflow that matches the Item Group Id to skip to (the Item's 'Original' Item Id is used) then:
- Skip all Item Groups in between the Item Group that has just been skipped/ actioned and the matched Item Group.
- Otherwise, if no Item Group with this Id is found:
- Add a new Item Group AFTER the Item Group that has just been skipped.
- Do not skip any other Item Groups
In both situations, the Item Group being skipped to will always become the new Current Item Group.
