workflow marked as start on update

Question

I have a nintex workflow set to fire when an item is modified. If the workflow modifies an item, will it trigger the same workflow again?

Answer 1

Once upon a time, yes; however, this was a bug. If you are running on the latest version, no.

At least, this is true of Nintex Workflow 2007 on our MOSS 2007 SP2 farm using the Set Field activity.

Answer 2

With SP 2010, Nintex does not offer the ability to disable event firing (like visual studio does). Therefore, starting a wf when an item is maintained is not a good option if the wf updates the item. It will trigger a loop.
