2782330 - Event / Event Reason on the Position Object Change Workflow Notification

Symptom

  • The Email notifications from Workflow after its approval upon changes made(Insert new Record / Edit the existing record) to a Position Object on Manage Positions read Event / Event Reason placeholders as : Insert Position, Correct Position etc.
  • However, they are not a part of existing Event picklist or Event Reason values.
  • How does the system pick these values up? Can this be modified?

Cause

 This is an Expected Behavior.

Resolution

  • The tag is comprised of the Action and Object for MDF objects such as Position.
  • The tag will show either Create Position or Insert Position based on the action performed.
  • This is currently not configurable, as the action is pulled from a hardcoded list.
