Just discovered a nefarious bug with Workflows that run on Delete on Transaction. I set up a Workflow to run on Delete / Before Record Submit on Sales Order & Estimate. I added one action, Return User Error, also on Delete / Before Record Submit. If I put a CONDITION on that action for “Type = Sales Order” and try to delete a Sales order, the action does NOT fire and the record is deleted! I actually discovered this when trying to get a custom wf action to execute before record submit on delete but only on certain transaction types. Putting in a condition to check transaction type just means that action doesn’t get triggered at all. Super dangerous and buggy as heck!

Can you filter the entire workflow to only run on sales orders instead of putting the condition in the action?

Unfortunately no, because this workflow does other things too (for multiple transaction types), and we already have so many workflows that I don’t want to create a separate one. To be honest, it’s definitely a defect, there’s no reason why the action should not execute.

Yeah I agree. Especially on before submit. That makes sense we're too cluttered with workflows as well
