Require Approvals for certain attributes updated on Register User Forms

I am working with a workflow that needs to check if a certain attribute (lets say departmentNumber for example) is updated, then it should be sent for an approval.  The workflow also should understand that if another attribute is updated and not departmentNumber, then the workflow does not need an approval.

This is being done on the Register User Update form.

I was thinking I could check the dynamic attributes against the user attributes.

If Else Condition in the workflow

(dynamicAttributes.get('Department') != user.departmentNumber)

If above is True then approval is needed,  If false then grant access.

If I update any attribute except the Department, I still get an approval needed.   

Is there a way to check for changes?

Tim,

Can you try the condition shared below, if you haven't already, and see if this works ?

(dynamicAttributes.get('Department') ne user.departmentNumber)

Avinash,

I have have tried the condition above and get the same result.  I'm wondering if every dynamic attribute in the form needed to be checked.  I was hoping this could be a simple check for old and new value for certain attributes and require approvals just for those changes.

I did get this to work.  I updated the dynamic attribute value to the actual attribute the dynamic attribute was configured to save to. I was using the dynamic attribute name of 'department' that would save to cp31 and switched to use 'cp31' instead of 'department'

Old

(dynamicAttributes.get('department') ne 'user.customproperty31'))

New

(dynamicAttributes.get('customproperty31') ne 'user.customproperty31'))
