start condition with virtual attribute doesn't work

[Mark Pyc]

G'day Wiz,
 
Make sure that your attribute doesn't rely on data from another attribute
or if it does make sure you perform a SWC_GET_PROPERTY ... SELF before
using the value. There is no guarantee of the order in which attributes are
evaluated.
 
There have been previous discussions about the fact that in certain cases
(like SWO1 tests I think) attributes are calculated twice. This may be why
sometimes these attributes resolve and other times they don't. With a
double pass almost all cross-attribute reliance problems should be
resolved. However if it doesn't always happen then it's just plain
confusing.
 
Can't guarantee that's the problem, but worth a look.
 
Have fun,
Mark

Hi all,
 
 
 
While I create start condition that was based on virtual attribute I found
that it s ignore my condition. Further More I see in the log the virtual
attribute with the correct value,
 
Its looks like that in runtime it s not calculate the value yet. but when
we go inside the log it s already calculated.
 
If I m changing the condition as to be based on data based attribute it
works fine.
 
Even inside the workflow if the first step it s condition on virtual
attribute it s ignore my condition although in log I see value on my
virtual attribute.
 
 
 
How can I solve this problem without added field to my table that will
contain the calculate value?
