Is it possible to have a button on a Workflow that redirects the user (when clicked) to the URL of a Suitelet with dynamic arguments ?

 e.g. /url_of_my_suitelet?id=id_of_record_where_i_clicked_button

Have you tried creating a workflow action script that is triggered in aftersubmit and uses the N/redirect to redirect to your suitelet?

Otherwise, I'd usually go for a UE-script that adds the button with the code to open the url.

Like <@U29QCJQF3> suggests here: <https://stackoverflow.com/a/44752359|https://stackoverflow.com/a/44752359>

I’m hoping to achieve this via WF rather than UE, as the button should only appear when the record is locked via this already existing WF

I'm not saying that it works. Just thought that it might.:grinning: 

Couldn't you have logic in the UE to only display the button based on the same criteria as in the workflow?

if we change the criteria for record being locked, we’d have to remember to change it in two places

well I’ve got the button, but nothing happens when I click it, despite the fact that I’ve set up the transition to the next state which has the custom action

Can you see in the wf-logs that the script gets triggered in after submit?

```/**
 * @NApiVersion 2.1
 * @NScriptType workflowactionscript
 */
define(['N/redirect'],

function(redirect) {

    function onAction(context) {
		log.debug('context',context)
		redirect.toSuitelet({
			deploymentId: 'customdeploy_depl_id',
			scriptId: 'customscript_script_id',
			parameters: {
				test: 19
			}
		})
    }

    return {
        onAction : onAction
    };

});```

The wf history looks a bit weird though. It never logs that it completes the transition to State 2. I'm guessing it is because the script redirects before it can complete.

oh sorry in your screenshot of the add button I saw event type: edit (assume you have view also selected)

my button does nothing when clicked, other than reload the page

Maybe change the context for the transition to 'all'
