does anybody know how to force the triggering of a record’s user event from another record’s user event

Either use the code in the target records afterSubmit in a custom module and call it directly or use a suitelet

I mean move the code from the afterSubmit into a custom module and call that

because the other ooption i thought was to use a suitelet but you mean create another module, and call a function from that module inside my after submit

using the Suitelet will be a better approach because it will trigger all the user events, some possibly can be related to the field that you are changing.

in fact i need to trigger a workflow linked to that record

what seems weird to me is that in order to be able to trigger this workflow I need to create a suitelet which only goal is to trigger the workflow

it sounds strange but think in terms of infinite loop if one UE starts to trigger another UE.

i know the reason why they do not allow it

If you need to only trigger a workflow, there is a function for it in the `N/task` module

The suitelet did the trick thanks anyway for the suggestion
