What's the difference between preconditions and follow-up actions for saving work items
This seems quite clear as the document stated like: Preconditions are checked before the save operation runs; follow-up actions are checked after the save operation.
However, when doing the RTC extension, I added a follow-up action and expect that the act will be done after the Work Item be saved. But the follow-up action will be always triggered during the save operation. Is there a way to do the follow-up action after the WI saved? Thanks.

Both of these extensions happen during each transaction. (workitem save, source code deliver operations, etc)
the precondition gives the extension the ability to stop the transaction before any data is saved the precondition cannot modify the proposed new data the follow-up extension is triggered AFTER the data is saved, but before the transaction ends the follow-up cannot modify the data to be saved, however, it can cause ANOTHER transaction to modify the data ie (save it again) Comments Hi Sam, Thanks for your answer. Could you give me some more details about how to trigger ANOTHER transaction to modify the data? Actually I want to change the WI data, like adding links, when saving the Work Item. Do you know how can I do that? Thanks again for your help. /Hongwu Also https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/11/27/resolve-parent-if-all-children-are-resolved-participant/ as well as other follow up actions use this. As stated in the posts, you need to be a ware that a save will trigger another operation to be run and you might need to suppress that using with additional parameters.
AND the 'other operation' also triggers the pre-condition, which COULD reject the save..
