Environment

Employee Central: Workflows

Reproducing the Issue

  • Insert new record from Manage organization, pay and job structures > Any foundation object > Insert a new record> Save.
  • The workflow generated says **[create] instead of **[update].

Cause

Insert a new record is considered as creation of data. Hence, the workflow shows as **[create].
