Hi
Could somebody tell me if it's possible to set two or more INDEPENDENT
'wait until date' workflow events (for two different classes)?

(I've tried to put them into one workwflow, run by 'before publish' trigger, but that didn't work...)

Many thanks

I think the proper way to do this would be to set each of the two workflows up, then create a 3rd multiplexer workflow that calls each of the other 2 wait until date workflows. You would set each of the two workflows to run based on criteria such as class and/or section.

Then set your trigger to the multiplexer workflow on before publish.

Well, I've got set it up that way right now...but for some reason,when the first date is reached, both workflow are triggered an both objects are published...even though second object is supposed to be published later...
Probably a bug?

I have never actually used a multiplexer, so I cannot confirm a bug, but it does sound like it might be.

Hi

Please write a bug report on this, and attach screenshots of your workflow setup. ( http://ez.no/community/bugs )

Hi,

Did you ever get a fix for this. I am running 3.6.7 and have the exact same problem.
