Hi ahmed, When you change a Workflow Map, it does not affect any existing items. If you create a new item and vote it through the workflow activities, does the lifecycle state change as you expect? Eli

Hi ahmed, You can do this by modifying the Workflow Map. When you select a workflow activity in the map, you can configure the promotion you want to occur under the Promotions tab. In order to promote your item to the "in progress" state, you'll want to add a new promotion event and configure the columns as shown below.

Event - You'll likely want to choose 'On Activate' which will occur when the workflow gets to your chosen activity
ItemType - The ItemType you have attached your life cycle to
Life Cycle - The Life Cycle Map you have created
From State - The Created state of your Life Cycle
To State - The In Progress state of your Life Cycle
Role - The Identity that will be performing this promotion (Aras PLM is the standard Role for these kinds of automatic promotions)

Hi Ahmed, Since the method doesn't update the context item, you'll need to update it with your code. For example:

partItem= partItem.promote("in Bearbeitung","Promoted");

Note that this is replacing partItem with the result received from the server, so any previous changes to that item that were not applied to the server may be overwritten in memory. Eli

Hi Ahmed, You can promote an item in code using the promote() method. Just pass a parameter with the name of the state you want to promote the item to. This will send a request to the server to promote the item and return the response. Note that the promote method does not update the context item itself. Eli

Hi Ahmed, If you want to change the LifeCycle state of a specific item, you can use the "promote" button or menu option. It is also possible to promote items via the workflow, but manual promotions are the most straightforward. Eli
