    Hi Ethan,

    Is the custom object customised with MboStatus handler?
    If so, then you coul dtry the below option?
    Example: maximo.customobjectname.statuschange.appr

    Hi Ethan, If you mean to wait untill a specific status occurs on the custom object based record then you can directly check it in the Object launch point before save event. Verify the status using the

    if(mbo.isModified("STATUS") and mbo.getString("STATUS") in['APPR']):

     # write your logic post that

    Thanks
