12/19/2023, 10:11 PMI've asked something like this before, but wanted to check. I find that if a scheduled WF sets a field on a record then UE scripts in that record do not run. This is despite Workflow being set as an allowed context in the script. I have found references to a similar bug on Google.
I created a Workflow Action Script to set the field value rather than the built in function, and that works, triggering the UE script. UNLESS the WFA is in a WF which also has a sublist action. Then the WFA doesn't trigger - or rather it dies according to the logs but the WFA doesn't set the field.
The whole thing is a nightmare.

you've got a UE script deployed to this record type, with 3 entry points and each entry point the first line of the function is a

12/19/2023, 10:53 PMI phrased it this way because if you've got an
if context.UserEventType == EDIT that you think should be true... the WF might actually trigger an XEDIT rather than an EDIT (I don't actually know) just a thought

User event scripts cannot be executed by other user event scripts or by workflows with a Context of User Event Script.Stuart Anderton

12/20/2023, 5:06 PMHas no one else had a problem with scheduled WFs not triggering UE scripts? I can see this which suggests it's not just me. https://netsuitehub.com/forums/topic/documentation-on-whether-user-events-are-triggered-from-workflows/
