Make workflows "aware of collection name" they where started from

Status: New Idea Submitted by on ‎11-17-2025 06:03 AM

Hello Together,

 

I have the following situation:

I have a workflow which is used in many different collections because of different users, regions etc,

Depending on the collection name from which the WF was started I would like to have different start parameters, different defaults for interface settings, use formulars, filters etc., having a system constant like [Engine.WorkflowFileName] but as [Engine.WorkflowCollectionName] would be great!

At the moment, I need to save the WF n-times just because of different settings instead of having just one working dynamically depending on the Collection name. Would save a lot of admin time just changing one WF instead of n!.

In case of any questions, pls. go ahead and get in touch with me!
