Workflow Termination

[HYM]

Hi Alex,

I was checking maybe if we can terminate a workflow using dffs, what do you think can we do that? i am starting a workflow when a status field is changed i have the same scenario but to terminate a workflow. if you don’t have time to check it maybe if you can share with me what’s the best way to do it and i will develop the function and add it in my custom js.

Thank you.

I haven’t done this before, but a Google search led me here: https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/174755/how-to-stop-a-sharepoint-workflow-using-jsom

You can try using this in Custom JS to terminate your WF.

okay thanks Alex, i tried this solution and it’s not working 100% but after doing some research and checking your solution to start a workflow using a button i fixed the code and it’s working fine with me now, if you want i can share the code here.

[Alexander Bautz]

Yes, please share your code – I know others are looking for a similar solution.

You cannot add an argument to the function here, but you can create a function in custom js and call this function from your rule:

function callMeFromRule(){
 yourOriginalFunction("your_argument");
}

Alex i’m facing weird behavior from calendar field, when i click on the calendar icon it jump to the top of the page any idea?

I’m not sure why this happens, but I have had the same issue in another list and made some changes to a built in function to fix it. You can try adding this to your Custom JS:

function OnIframeLoadFinish() {
	var a, top;
	top = jQuery("#s4-workspace").scrollTop();
	if (typeof this.Picker != "undefined")
		a = this.Picker;
	if (a !== null && typeof a.readyState !== "undefined" && a.readyState !== null && a.readyState === "complete") {
		a.style.display = "block";
		if (typeof document.frames != "undefined" && Boolean(document.frames)) {
			var b = document.frames[a.id];
			if(b !== null && typeof b.focus === "function"){
				b.focus();
			}
		} else {
			a.focus();
		}
	}
	setTimeout(function () {
		jQuery("#s4-workspace").scrollTop(top);
	}, 0);
}
