“In which scenarios would a workflow (set to run on ‘Before Record Submit’) fail to execute or not behave as expected when the transaction is created via a Map/Reduce script?”

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

A workflow set to run on 'Before Record Submit' may fail to execute or not behave as expected when the transaction is created via a Map/Reduce script in the following scenarios: 1. Context Filtering: If the script deployment is set up to not run in the Map/Reduce context, the workflow will not be triggered. This can be adjusted at the Script Deployment level by adjusting the Context Filtering on the Deployment record or in code via the

N/runtime

module's

executionContext

property. 2. User Permissions: If the user executing the Map/Reduce script is not an employee or does not have the necessary permissions, the workflow may not trigger as expected. 3. Record State: If the state of the record at the time of the Map/Reduce script execution does not meet the conditions required for the workflow to trigger, the workflow will not execute. For example, if the workflow is set to trigger only when a specific field is checked, and the Map/Reduce script does not check this field, the workflow will not run. 4. Script Execution Order: If the workflow needs to be tied to the end of a specific Map/Reduce script, it may not behave as expected because the workflow will trigger immediately after the record is saved to the database, not necessarily after the Map/Reduce script has completed. 5. Bulk Processing: Map/Reduce scripts are typically used for bulk processing. If the workflow is not designed to handle bulk operations, it may not behave as expected when triggered by a Map/Reduce script. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
