Hi Lisa, I would set the run if on your first active link to 'menu field' != $NULL$ and keep the same if actions. In the else actions include the actions you perform in your lose focus active link. That should work unless I am not understanding what you are trying to do. That would save you one active link. You are correct that this will not fix the modify all issue.

Even if you have the Menu choice option selected, nothing happens when you select clear. So I have an Active Link with a Menu Choice to kick off my workflow, but if the person selects Clear, nothing happens. So I have to create a 2nd Active Link on Lose Focus of the menu that kicks off workflow if the field is NULL. Because of Modify ALL I also have to create filters to make sure that if the field is NULL, that the workflow is kicked off. Blech... All because selecting Clear does not register in the system as a "change" on the Menu field. I think it's simply clearing out the field and nothing more....

I find the menu choice option works better for firing workflow based on a menu selection. I know this doesn't have any affect on your issue but thought I'd mention....

I did the work around (by doing a lose focus on the field and if that field is blank, to blank out the other fields) but I just found out my customers don't even see the clear option. Is this a bug? I do, but they don't..... The only difference is that I have Admin permissions. Also, when I do a Modify All and I want to clear out the field, (and it's the only field that will change), when I choose clear, the Save button doesn't activate, so I can't save my changes with a Modify ALL + Clear.

The menu is attached to another form with the data I need in the menu. I have an active link that sets another field whenever this character field (menu) is changed. Why doesn't the workflow kick off when I select (clear)? Nothing happens, and my workflow log shows that nothing happens as well (the active link doesn't even show up). Is there a way to get this to kick off workflow when I set the field to <clear>? I'd really like to have it in an Active Link so the user can see that certain fields have been set to null, I could set the fields in a filter (once the record is saved), but I'd like the customer to see the set fields before they hit save.
