[Vtigercrm-developers] Inventory Record copying

[Alan Lord]

This is driving me nuts!!!

This is on vt7.

I have a custom workflow function which uses only the Server API Create 
function.

This is what we want to happen:

1. A user changes the Quote Stage of a Quote to "Accepted" and saves the 
record
2. A custom workflow, set to only run once when the condition above is 
met, creates a new Sales Order; essentially just like clicking on the 
"Generate Sales Order" button, but we want it automated.

The problem is this.

If I save a Quote's Quote Stage field in detail view, or summary view, 
then my workflow works. It creates the new Sales Order and populates the 
line items (using vtws_create). *But* if I am in Edit view when I save 
the Quote, I get my new Sales Order OK, but it now has *two* sets of 
line items.

I don't really have a way to tell which type of save is which (Detail or 
Edit) from the data passed into the Custom Workflow function.

I don't believe that I can use the $focus->isLineItemUpdate value when 
using the Server APIs.

How am I supposed to achieve this?
