dynamics crm - How to Create a Timeout In a CRM Workflow That Uses a Static Attribute Value -


i'm specifying timeout in workflow within crm against particular contact attribute (next time run):

timeout until "contact:next time run"

this works great, until updates "next time run" attribute. when happens, crm re-evaluates timeout , adjusts new "next time run" value. don't want. want timeout use value of "next time run" when workflow triggered (static). don't want timeout dynamically update based on attribute changing.

how do this?

i tried solution , believe solves problem:

i added field ("hidden time run") entity, date field doesn't appear on form.

workflow steps:

  1. when workflow triggered, copy date "next time run" "hidden time run".
  2. timeout until "contact: hidden time run"

thus, changing "next time run" attribute won't have effect on when workflow expected run.
