Hi Team,

I’m facing an issue with an approval workflow in my application.

• I have a workflow that updates a record’s Status field from “Pending” to “Waiting for Approval.”
• I have configured an Approval Workflow with the condition:
  Status = "Waiting for Approval"

Now, I have added a custom button in the report.

• When I click this button, the status successfully updates from Pending → Waiting for Approval.
• However, the Approval Workflow is not getting triggered.

Expected Behavior:

Once the status changes to “Waiting for Approval”, the approval workflow should execute automatically.

Actual Behavior:

The status updates correctly, but the approval workflow does not trigger.

Question:

Is there any limitation where approval workflows are not triggered when updates are done via custom buttons?
Or is there any additional configuration required to make this work?

Additional Info:

• The status update is happening through a Deluge script in the custom button
