Workflow: How do i check previous value of a field after change

[murugappan]

I have the need to to do the following:

(1) Check if a field has been changed
(2) If changed and if the previously value is empty set the status of the entity record

Example. If if the "Date Doc. Received" has changed and if it was previously empty, then set the status to "Received".

Thank you for any assistance.

If you're doing it via GUI you can think about previousStatus field where you'll be storing value of previous status like in Opportunities.

Tested on the description field, it works. Here is a screenshot for Conditions:



All you have to do is add your Actions.

i would use only formula (using both conditons and formula can cause a race and might cause issues) - this is a simple check that can be done using only formula as below

entity\isAttributeChanged('description') && entity\attributeFetched('description') == null
