Here's some background. There are hundreds of thousands of documents, and I need to lengthen a status field which is currently only 15 characters. While that is enough typically, it does not let me do compound triggers in Workflow Designer.
e.g. Invoice Status > equals > New OR Pre-Approved
Normally that would work, but here it does not because "New OR Pre-Approved" is more than 15 characters, and in Workflow Designer, you cannot enter more than 15 characters for an index value which is limited to 15 characters.
So, I'm using a tempoary field "Longer Invoice Status" of length 100 and using autoindex to populate it. I'll later delete the original field, recreate it also at 100 chars.
However, it's taking such a long time to run that documents will have their Invoice Status changed, and the Longer Invoice Status will be stale by the time I sync that back into the new (longer) Invoice Status field.
SO THE QUESTION:
Can I simply use Autoindex with a filter comparing Invoice Status to Longer Invoice Status? I'm hoping there is a way to use the "IS (where clause)" comparison option, but I cannot figure out what syntax to use. I'd like to process only documents ...
WHERE 'INVOICE_STATUS' <> 'LONGER_INVOICE_STATUS'
NOTE: This is a cloud system, so I have absolutely no access to the database.
Thanks to everyone that may have some idea.

EDIT:
In Workflow, I am using "If _ALL_ of the following conditions are fulfilled" :
- Document type > equals > Invoice In
- Invoice Status > equals > New OR Pre-Approved
- Invoice Status > has changed
Therefore using "If _ANY_ of the following conditions.." is not an option.
