Finish assignment not working when used with WHEN rule
Dears,
I have a button on section which is firing three events on click
1) Run Activity - Doing some stuff then setting a property SETFLAG to SUCCESS
2) Refresh Section
3) Finish Assignment - with a when condition using SETFLAG = SUCCESS
When I click the button first time only Activity & Refresh Sections runs in Tracer. Even WHEN condition is set to TRUE
Second time when I click the button, the event is taking all 3 actions (Run Activity, Refresh, Finish Assignment)
I went through different posts on PDN and also added to SETFLAG property to section but nothing works.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Vishal

I tried it but finishassignment is not behaving the same way it was behaving earlier.

I think what is happening here, is the evaluation of the when condition has already been made prior to you changing the flag. Please see if this helps: https://community.pega.com/video-library/support-guide-troubleshooting-when-rule-conditions-not-executing-expected
I tried this one as well.
not working.

Hi Vishal,
Can you try add one more action set and place the finish assignment there.If it is not helping can you try adding a set wait step at the end of the activity.
Thanks,

Hi,
Not sure whether you have already tried this. We faced similar issue where the flag property used in when rule or expression is set in same button click. We got the issue solved when we did below steps.
1. Add a UI control (may be check box if it is boolean) for that flag property in the same section where you have the button.
2. Set the Control format to 'Hidden', on the Presentation tab of the Control, to hide the field.
3. Set the When condition to 'Other Property' and use the flag and expression.
Below link has more details on why we followed the approach I mentioned above.
I tried this as well. Tried with Text/Integer/Boolean properties on section and WHEN rule as well as in OTHER PROPERTY expression.
nothing is working.

Hello,
Would it be just easiest to "Refresh Section" only. Using this option you can automatically call an activity. From this activity you could call finish assignment as well
