Who is the User in the History at workflow state transition?

Dear All,

I would like to follow an approvering workflow, but in the History I can't see the correct state transitioner User.

If I compare the History with M-Files Admin Eventlog, I see different Users.

There is not auto state transition between 02 and 03 states, so I don't understand why M-Files Server appears as User at version 8, because the state transition can be done by H.Miklós only.

Firstly I thought there is any further function in 03 state and that modifies the object after the state transition, but we only use property adding like at 02 state and the state transition from 01 to 02 is correct. That was done by S.Rita at both place (History/Eventlog). So I don't understand...

Is there any property where I can see the correct approver (state transitioner) User?

I can see in the Eventlog, but it is not enough, because this information is important for our users and we have to show it in History.

Thank you in advance for any idea!

Best regards,

  • We have same troubles. In most cases, we have covered it but there are still cases when it happens and it is hard to figure out why. Generally, looking into all cases where you use SetProperties function/method and then applying trick Craig suggested. In some cases though, this also does not work (when user triggering is really M-Files e.g. creating automatically assignments, or having middle steps with automatic transitions), in those cases you could get user from previous transition where user was correct (if you have clear transitions in place). It helped us such cases.
