Rollback Object to some previous version?

Question

Hi 
 I can roll back objects from condition search but I'd like modify current document in workflow, but it says that code is running or similar. How to modify this to run on workflow for current object? Reason why conditions is not an option is the number of objects to modify -> Timeouts 
 
 dim DocID, DocVer, VersionNum Set DocID = Objver.objid DocVer = Objver.Version VersionNum = DocVer - 2 Dim CurVersion : Set CurVersion = Vault.ObjectOperations.GetLatestObjVer( DocID, True, True) Vault.ObjectOperations.Checkout( DocID ) Vault.ObjectOperations.Rollback DocID, VersionNum Vault.ObjectOperations.CheckIn( DocID )

I would be surprised if there's a way to do this within a synchronous process, such as an event handler or state action. Rolling back the object creates a new version, but the system hasn't finished processing the previous version, so it'll fail. 
 With the VAF and some sort of asynchronous process, yes, as you could fire the update after the current version has been checked in. But not whilst it's being modified.

I think the workflow implicitly checks out the document for you, so there shouldn't be a need to do checkout - check in separately in your workflow script. Have you tried it without those operations?
