Well, that was me recently... I thought I was trying that, however, I wonder if it's because I have too many dependencies... what I mean by that is Field A is a dropdown of words which sets Field B which is an integer... Field C another dropdown of words which sets Field D another integer... then I want Field E to be Field B + Field D... I also then need Field E to set the value of another "risk level" field which kicks off another workflow... I was able to work around it by making the employee save the record first before they can click the button that kicks off the next workflow... It wasn't ideal, but it works... I might retry your suggestion in sandbox to see if I can get it to work, though.
