Use the Create system function to launch a workflow of a specific workflow definition.
To specify a Create workflow system function
See About system steps for information about including multiple system functions in a single step.
In the assignments table, field names in the Name column are assumed to belong to the newly created work item; field names in the Expression column are assumed to belong to the current work item. You can use the $ in front of the field name to reverse this assumption.
For example:
- Workflow_1 (current workflow) has data fields A, B, C;
- Workflow_2 (newly created workflow) has data fields C, D, E.
