Workflow - external object

Question

Hello, 
 we would like to create a new "Object Type B" as soon as the "Object type A" is approved within workflow 
 See pictuture: 
 
 We have configured "Object Type B" as external with SQL INSERT statement configuration. 
 I suppose use VBS scripting in Aprrove state - create a new object type B. Is it right? 
 Could you give me some hints how to handle this? 
 Thanks in advance, 
 Petr

Hi Pete, 
 You could use following function: https://www.m-files.com/api/documentation/index.html#MFilesAPI~VaultObjectOperations~CreateNewObjectEx.html 
 You would need to use correct object type. Your external object type should be configured to write back to the original resource (you have to configure update function of your object type to write back to e.g. your DB). Then every time you create new object of specific type, it will be propagated to original resource.
