Is there a way to restrict workflow states based on an enumeration?

Michael Alberda (23●1●16●48) | asked Mar 22 '18, 9:01 a.m.

Hi,

Is there an easy way to restrict workflow states based on what is selected in an enumeration? For instance if "A" is selected, I only want users to see the states assigned for that literal. Similarly if "B" is selected, it will show additional states that are not visible when "A" is selected"

This is similar to what we use value sets for, however, I need it to be applied to states.

I would really like to avoid plugins if possible.

Thanks,
Regards,
Michael.

Maybe you can make it work the other way? Say, create a validator to make the enumeration invalid for certain states? That way, even though you cannot hide the states, you can at least prevent users from transit the work items into such states.

It is possible to use pre-conditions/advisors or validators to prevent a state change that violates a rule implements. It is not possible to hide certain actions of a workflow based on some condition, however.
