Is it possible to have a workflow comment on associated user records in a many-to-many relationship?  
a user can have many properties  
a property can have many users  
Desired workflow:  
When a property record is updated  
comment on the trigger property’s linked user record(s)

I’ve tried setting it up as:  
Trigger:  
When a Loss record is updated

Step 1  
Add a comment to record  
Table: User  
Record ID: Trigger

when I test the workflow, it ‘passes’ but the comment shows up on a seemingly random unassociated record

I think this should work:

Trigger:  
When a Loss record is updated

Step 1  
For every record in a list…do…  
Select your list  
Select your action

Thank you!  
I only noticed the “For every record in a list” workflow option long after posting the question. Now if i could only plug this step into an existing workflow.

I’m not sure what your workflow looks like but I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to.
