Workflow Button on Advanced Form - Save first, then trigger workflow

Hi all,

On an advanced form I have a button that triggers a workflow (OOB button, not custom).

The problem is that it does not save form data, it only triggers the workflow.

I tried to change its behaviour using the following code. Not working. At some time I managed to save the data, but still the workflow was not triggered. Is there any simpler way to accomplish this?

$(document).ready(function () {
 var contactid = "{{ user.contactid }}";

 var workflowButton = $(".workflow-link.btn.btn-primary.button.btn");
 workflowButton.bind("click", function () {

 var dataUrl = workflowButton.attr("data-url");
 if (!!dataUrl) {
 workflowButton.attr("data-url-prevent", dataUrl);
 workflowButton.removeAttr("data-url");
 
 WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions

 (new WebForm_PostBackOptions($(this).prev().attr("name"), '', true, '', '', false, true));
 executeWorkflow();

 }
 })


function executeWorkflow() {
 debugger;
 var u = "/_services/execute-workflow/6d6b3012-e709-4c45-a00d-df4b3befc518"; // execute workflow request url
 var params = {};
 var workflow = {};
 workflow.LogicalName = "workflow";
 workflow.Id = "e85806bc-78ae-ec11-983e-000d3ab94e86";
 var data = {};
 data.LogicalName = "contact";
 data.Id = contactid; // guid of the contact record.
 params.workflow = workflow;
 params.entity = data;
 var jData = JSON.stringify(params);
 shell.ajaxSafePost({
 type: "POST",
 contentType: "application/json",
 url: u,
 data: jData
 }).done(function (r) {
 debugger;
 }).fail(function (n) {
 debugger;
 });
}

});
