I created a form where I created a button on the Display Form that needs to start a workflow but I'm having trouble building a url that pulls in the item ID. What can I use in FormsDesigner or Javascript that will pull in the correct ID then launch the workflow? I'm currently using this:

window.open('https://www.somesite.com/_layouts/15/In ... x','_blank');



I attempted to use the following but could not get it to pull in the ID:

&ID={ID}
&ID=[ID]
&ID=('ID')
&ID={@ID}

Hello Adam,

Please, try the following code:

Code: Select all

Please can you provide an example of how to get this code? I'd like to run a sharepoint 2013 workflow from a button in sharepoint designer display form, but can't figure it out.


Many thanks!

Hi,

There are a lot of samples on how to start a workflow via JavaScript:

So, you only need to insert the correct code into OnClick property of the HyperLink control. Our support team can help you with the task. It will take 200 support minutes.
