Ah ok. Your question was about something different than I expected.

For this usecase you can´t just copy paste my code, it was buggy anyway ;-)

What do you want to achieve? What is your current code doing? You seem to call your Workflow map, but for which purpose?

Hello Angelalp

Im still getting error i added my code in your code below is that

The action basically help triggers a workflow on an action, It works fine when i do it on an item type but it has issues when i do it on a relationship grid

Innovator inn = this.getInnovator();
Aras.IOM.Innovator innovator = this.getInnovator();
// var myId;
// var myItem;
// Determine if Action was called from main grid or relationship grid
var relatedId = this.getProperty("related_id","");

// relatedId only exists when Action is called from relationship grid
if (relatedId)
{
var myId = relatedId;
var myItem = this.getPropertyItem("related_id");
}
else
{
var myId = this.getID();
var lytem = this;
}

string workflowMapName = "VSY Task";
Item workflowMap = innovator.getItemByKeyedName("Workflow Map", workflowMapName);
if ((workflowMap == null) | (workflowMap.getID().Length != 32))
{
return innovator.newError("Unable to retrieve Workflow Map '" + workflowMapName + "'");
}
// Instantiate and start the workflow.
Item workflow = this.instantiateWorkflow(workflowMap.getID());
if (workflow.isError())
{
return innovator.newError("Error instantiating workflow: " + workflow.getErrorDetail());
}
workflow.startWorkflow();
return this;

Probably an issue with the id of your target Item. When you want to use an Action in a grid AND relationship grid, you have to differentiate this in your Method. There are a couple of ways to do this. This is one of them:

var myId = null;
var myItem = null;
// Determine if Action was called from main grid or relationship grid
var relatedId = this.getProperty("related_id","");

// relatedId only exists when Action is called from relationship grid
if (relatedId)
{
myId = relatedId;
myItem = this.getPropertyItem("related_id");
}
else
{
myId = this.getID();
lytem = this;
}
