i want to create a workflow for vendor creation for AP roles but make the record inactive once submitted. but the AP role has edit permission which gives them access to the inactive submit when you view the list of record. how can i prevent this?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems that you can use a User Event script on the Vendor record to monitor the

XEDIT

event type during a

beforeSubmit

entry point. This will allow you to control the behavior of the record when a user tries to save it. Here's a rough idea of how you can implement this:

javascript
function beforeSubmit(context) {
    if (context.type === context.UserEventType.XEDIT) {
        var newRecord = context.newRecord;
        var oldRecord = context.oldRecord;

        // Check if the inactive field has been changed
        if (newRecord.getValue('isinactive') !== oldRecord.getValue('isinactive')) {
            // Prevent the change
            throw new Error('You are not allowed to change the inactive status of this record.');
        }
    }
}

This script will throw an error and prevent the record from being saved if a user tries to change the inactive status of the record. For the vendor approval workflow, you can use a workflow action script to make the vendor inactive and trigger another approval workflow when the bank details are changed. This will ensure that any changes to the bank details will need to be approved before the vendor can be reactivated. For the issue with the Project object, you need to check when your workflow is making the record active and when the script is being triggered. If you are making it active before record load, it should work, otherwise, your script runs prior to the record becoming active. You need to check where your workflow action script is in the list of actions. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
