Require parameters
- Technical Communications

Overview
If the destination state has been configured to require setting one or more workflow parameter values, the workflow state dialog box displays a warning for the transition.
Once a parameter value has been set, it is not prompted for again unless the saved value is removed
The Require parameters option is only for approval transition actions, and state Submit transition or state Select transition actions. Requiring parameters is not a feature for other actions, such as task-related actions.
User state transition - select and submit transition
When the Require parameters option is set for the destination state, a Select transition and Submit transition from another state require the parameter values.
For the transition option to a single state, the Submit button displays a warning icon.
Choosing the Submit button opens a box to enter the value of the required workflow parameter.
The Change state button is enabled when a value for the workflow parameter is added.
The Select transition in the state also displays a warning icon when the destination state has been configured to Require parameters.
Approval transition
If the destination state requires setting one or more workflow parameters, an approval decision button with a warning icon is displayed.
Choosing the approval decision with the warning icon opens a box to enter the value of the required workflow parameter(s).
The decision button is enabled when a value for the workflow parameter is added.
Required parameters are only prompted if a user performs a workflow action, such as approving or rejecting an approval or state selection. If a state transition is caused by a trigger, a page update, or a task-related action, there is no Require parameters check.
