Workflow Rule: Field Update Limitation Trick

Workflow Rule: Field Update Limitation Trick

We use workflow rules which gets executed based on the Entry Criteria and Condition met.

We can send an Email Alert, Assign Task, Update the field and Send Outbound message.

There is one Limitation with the Workflow Field Update.

Field Update Limitation:

The results of a field update can not trigger additional workflow rules which are dependant on that updated field.

Trick to overcome the Limitation:

When creating the Workflow Field Update Action, check the checkbox  “Re-evaluate Workflow Rules after Field Change”.

Selecting the "Re-evaluate Workflow Rules After Field Change checkbox" on the Field Update Edit page allows you to set a workflow field update to re-evaluate all workflow rules on the object if the field update results in a change to the value of the field.

This will overcome the limitation of Field update.
