Workaround for triggering generate document workflow when any of the 380 fields I have change

mccoy_FSI

I need a generate document workflow to run anytime one of them changes. I don't want to put in all 380 fields, I don't even know if it will let me add that many. It seem as if the "if any field changes" option is not available on the generate documents workflow, you have to select at least one field.

@mccoy_FSI You can create a single backend helper column that joins all of the other columns together and can be used as the trigger for the automation. If anything in the row changes, that backend column will change.

Hope this helps!

You can use the Any Field setting in the When rows change trigger:

mccoy_FSI

It forces you to select at least one field when the workflow is to generate a document.

@Kelly P. Yes, that will work. I didn't think of that, thank you.
