    hi Anwar,

      2 options  to achieve this

    Register the plugin  on a message that will be invoked through a normal workflow  step
    Rewrite your plugin code as a custom workflow activity, which can be called directly from the workflow

    Thanks

    You need to register the plugin on update event of the entity.

    If you want to fire the plugin just on update of specific field. Use "Filtering Attribute" on step registeration.

    Have a look at my blog

    I hope this helps.

    Hi buddy, chances are you registered your plugin is registered on synchronous event and workflow always run asynchronously.

    So plugin will run before workflow.  if you are not changing the picklist field on the form and it get triggered only in the workflow then, filtering attribute should work.
