Hello, I have a question.  I have a client script on a custom record that writes to a corresponding vendor record.  How do I get an after submit condition transaction to run for a vendor workflow after the conditions have been met?  I have not been able to get it to run.  Thank you.

You will want to set the `Event Type` on the Workflow based on the method you use to save the Vendor. If you use `save()`, you will need to make sure the `Edit` Event Type is selected on the Workflow. If you use `submitFields()`, you will need to make sure the `Direct List Edit` Event Type is selected on the Workflow.

You will also want to check the `Contexts` on the Workflow to make sure that `Client` is selected (and maybe `User Interface` as well).

would a transition type of aftersubmit work?

I have been unable to get it to trigger for the script.  the transition does work when I save the record from the ui

If so what does it say for the transition in the workflow logs?

Is your condition a saved search condition? Or visual builder? Or formula ?

Also what function are you using in your client script to set the values and are you using recordLoad and recordSubmit

I am using an aftersubmit function is my script

do I need to switch my script context to before submit?

Then it will ensure the client actions will be completed before the workflow

`afterSubmit` is not a Client Script function. It is a `User Event` function, and that's a very important distinction. User Event scripts will not trigger other User Event scripts _or_ Workflows

So if you have a User Event Script, you cannot trigger a User Event Workflow.

Note any action set to trigger On Entry into the new state will not be triggered but the record will transition

Also I think there is a. Trigger.workflow function for scripts

that may work better.  I tried it with beforeload and it does transition.  the issue is the approval status does not update

Can you add the approval status update as part of your script?

I would have to check the conditions but that should be possible

There is the `N/workflow` module which can initiate Workflows. I don't have experience with it myself to give further guidance there.

thanks!  I was able to create a button and trigger it using the workflow module
