which seems to contains the predefined datas</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- added</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp; which seems to contains the users added datas.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Am I doing something wrong here ? I'm faced with this issue only with this kind of multiple noderef associations, I'm also pre-defining other type of data (boolean, text etc..) which I retrieve with no problems.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks I advance, hoping to get some answers !</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Laurent</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 23 Jun 2008 15:17:56 GMT lgilles 2008-06-23T15:17:56Z Preconfigured Workflow https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/preconfigured-workflow/m-p/174422#M127552 Hi everyone,I'm faced with a strange behavior of the persons/groups multiple association UI selector (I think org.alfresco.web.ui.repo.component.property.UIAssociationEditor).I have a workflow task model that defines a multiple association with person type content model :&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;type name="mywf: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 15:17:56 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/preconfigured-workflow/m-p/174422#M127552 lgilles 2008-06-23T15:17:56Z Re: Preconfigured Workflow https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/preconfigured-workflow/m-p/174423#M127553 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>What version of Alfresco are you using exactly?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 22 Sep 2008 15:40:10 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/preconfigured-workflow/m-p/174423#M127553 stevewickii 2008-09-22T15:40:10Z
