Thank you Carey,
I understand your suggestion and actually I tough about it but I could not figure what would be the PERFORM-ACTION-SEND-EVENT parameters. What am I going to use?
PERFORM-ACTION-SEND-EVENT $189787464$ "GetCatalogueEntry" (189787464 would be the field ID containing the CURRENTWINID value)?
Thank you in advance.

Mathieu,
The PERFORM-ACTION-SEND-EVENT function can send to a specific Window
ID, but you need to know what Window ID to send it to.
Can you do something like the following in your workflow?
When the user opens the "Software Catalog" window pass in (to a
display only field) the value for $CURRENTWINID$ from the
"Release-Request" form. Then when the "Clone" button is pressed, have
the "Clone" window hang on to that value ($CURRENTWINID$) from the
"Release-Request" form. Then finally when the "Clone" window is closed
send the event to that WINID value.
I think that will work, but because there is "other stuff" that your
workflow is doing it might be easier or harder to implement depending
on the details. For example you might need another display only field
to identify a "clone" "Software Catalog" window vs a "Software
Catalog" window to manage when the event should or should not be sent
on Window Close.
HTH.
