Unnie Thank you for your reply, but I'm afraid it does not trigger it :(, I have confirmed this with some other people and tested myself. I was told it is a social feature and does not gets counted as an item change.

It is a list workflow, SharePoint 2013 on-premise.

Unnie May I know if you enabled SharePoint Classic Site Collection? As I try to test the function in SP online, I do not even see the like button in discussion board. It seems that the site has to be a non-modern site (reference: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_sharepoint-mso_win10-mso_o365b/missing-the-like-or-rating-buttons-of-sharepoint/93c81e04-797f-4583-90ba-7b3af9ff28ea)

Either way it seems things did change a lot from on-prem to online, it is a shame if the feature only works for "online classic" sites.
