Requirement:
User A is completed the workorder and again, same user A  is going to change the work order status to 'CLOSE'. At that moment, have to pop up warning message as "You have completed this WO. Do you want to proceed?". This warning message is need to work for the below scenario

1. "Change Status" option for single WO
2.  "Close Workorder" option for single WO
3. "Change Status" option for multiple WO from List Tab
4. "Close Workorder" option for multiple WO from list tab

We tried, created  Attribute Launch Point for WOCHANGESTATUS Object (Run action event). Script is working for 1, 2, 3 scenario but not working for last scenario. 
"Close Workorder" option for multiple WO from list tab, Automation script is not calling and not working.

Does anyone suggest how to handle the "Close Workorder" option for multiple WO from list tab to show warning message.

Thanks in Advance! :-)

Which data set are You using in script?
By default WO application is working with clause historyfalg=0 . If You are using application default mboset, then after closing those WOs, they are not in that mboset anymore. I guess, this could be the issue for 4th scenario.

Hi Nivethitha,

Below technote asserts that automation script does not fire on list tab when no records are selected. That might be the cause or the CLOSE button might be calling changeStatus method directly w/o the non-persistent object. Yet, if that message is important, I can recommend some workarounds.

Tech Note:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/automation-scripts-fire-list-tab

Option 1: Since item 3 works, you can replace CLOSE button with a copy of STATUS dialog having readonly status (no dropdown / lookup) defaulted to CLOSE.

Option 2: Replace CLOSE button with a new sigoption & automation script which handles the message and single / list of WO status change to CLOSE.

Hi Yalcin Kumbasar,

Thank you for your reply!

We were selected around 10 open records in the list tab of workorder tracking application, then selecting the 'Close Work order' option from select action.
At that point, Automation script is not triggers to show warning message dialog box. Could you please suggest.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi Nivethitha,

To call the script for the last option (Close Workorder" option for multiple WO from list tab), you need to change your launch point event to "Initialize value" instead of "Run Action" as Close status value has been already defaulted/initialized when you opened the "Close Workorder" dialog box, so there is no event changes in the WOCHANGESTATUS.STATUS field and as a result the script didn't fire. 
In other cases, you are setting the the status value manually un the dialog box and causing an event to call the script.

Now the catch is how did it work for the second option ("Close Workorder" option for single WO)?

It did worked for the second option as the MBO(i.e WO here) inherits the StatefulMbo class which has the ChangeStatus method. But once you select multiple WO records in list tab, it becomes an MboSet(i.e WOSet) and unfortunately the MboSet neither inherit the StatefulMbo Class nor it overrides the ChangesStatus method, so the same code didn't work when you select the record from list tab and tried to close them through the Close Workorder More action menu. Hope this clears everything now.

Please test that with initialize value attribute launch point and let me know how it goes.

Hi Subaransu,

Thank you for your response with explanation! It's really helpful to understand the logic.

I have tried by changing the "Initialize value" instead of "Run Action."  The automation script is not triggers for all the four scenarios. Automation scripts fails for all the four cases.
