Close workflow form using javascript window.close()
hi
i would like to cancel workflow in the start form if the user doesnt want to continue. While clicking on the cancel button, user gets message that workflow has been started, which is confusing. Is it possible to close the form using window.close option in java script. I tried and Im getting error as -Scripts may close only the windows that were opened by them
Any thoughts on this?
regards
Anie

Agreed, this is not ideal.
The official way of closing a form is to click the little cross on top right of the workflow pop up or to press the “Esc” keyboard key. In our experience, this is confusing for users and they do not intuitively find this button. A big “Cancel” button is much more intuitive, but indeed the workflow notifications can be confusing as well.
I recommend against trying to find a workaround with javascript. You had better open an ideation ticket: https://productresources.collibra.com/ideation-platform/
