10/14/2019, 1:34 PMI have a workflow that uses After Field Edit to change the display type of fields, so if use sets field x to a value, then large parts of the form become hidden. The formatting sometimes becomes off, and often no all fields get hidden, there are about 80 actions in the workflow - is there a better way to achieve this type of functionality than a workflow

10/14/2019, 3:16 PMThanks for the thoughts - I will try to push for managing multiple forms and having the workflow change the form depending on field value. This is a client's workflow they came with and presented me a ~300 state workflow and asked for why it wasn't working/ways to optimize 😕
