Transition automation based on field values

Question

Is it possible to automate a state change based on a field value? So when I have my Priority set to 2 when it enters a certain state, have it automatically trigger a transition from that state to another state because the Priority is set to 2?

Hi ,

As System.State is core filed of WorkItemType, so just custom work item type definition can not meet your requirement.

You can do it, but you should use custom workitem control. Here is a article about custom wi control. You can do your own code in FieldChanged Event.

Answer 2

Thanks for your help Ruiz. I figured custom controls was my only way but wanted to ask and make sure.

Also, This blog proved extremely useful in understanding the construct and usage of custom controls.
