Control the order that automation scripts get fired

Scenario:

If there are multiple automation scripts that get triggered by a record save:

There is no way to predict/control the order of script execution:

  • The first time you save the WO the scripts could fire like this:
    Script1, Script2, Script3 …

  • The second time it could be like this:
    Script1, Script3, Script2 …

  • And the third time…
    Script4, Script3, Script2 …

It would be very helpful if we could control the order in which automation scripts get fired.

I know it would be ideal to only have a single script instead of multiple scripts. But that's not always possible or practical in reality.

Credit for the wording goes to Mark Robbins (Vetasi).

    Since IBM has no plans to change this, a workaround would be to have only 1 script "triggered by a record save" and have that script use a series of service.invokeScript() calls to intentionally fire Script1, Script2, Script3 ... in whatever order was prescribed.
