I am trying to move my preset process management workflow from one step to the next automatically when a value in a field is changed or updated in a record – can I do that?

Hello Dave,

Yes you can certainly do that by using the API that would update the Status of one or mutliple records.

You will need to create a process that would send the API request whenever the field you are going to make it as a trigger is updated at the event of saving a record.

The following page explains about how to update the Status using the API:

I hope this helps your question!

As Yuzo has stated, you would need to trigger the code when you save your record. The **app.record.create.submit.success** event and **app.record.edit.submit.success** are events that are triggered when a record is saved.

Here is an example of running some code when something is saved:

_**kintone.events.on([‘app.record.create.submit.success’, ‘app.record.edit.submit.success’], function(data) {**_  
_**&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; if (data.record.numberfield.value == 10){**_  
_**&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; window.alert(“We detected a value of 10!”)**_  
\_ **&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }** \_  
_**});**_
