Hi,
as far as I know the Repository WebScript used by Share's workflow dialog don't support multiple user assignments for the moment.
So, you'll also have to change these Repo WebScripts.

I have changed the web script :
   // Get the workflow definition
   var workflowDefinition = workflow.getDefinitionByName(workflowName);

   // Create the workflow package to contain the file nodes
   var workflowPackage = workflow.createPackage();

   if (assignees.length == 1)
   {
      workflowParameters["bpm:assignee"] = assignees[0];
   }
   else
   {
      workflowParameters["bpm:assignees"] = assignees;
   }

   var workflowPath = workflowDefinition.startWorkflow(workflowPackage, workflowParameters);

//process define

   <start-state name="start">
      <task name="wf:submitAdhocTask" swimlane="initiator"/>
      <transition name="" to="adhoc"/>
   </start-state>

//model define
      <type name="wf:submitAdhocTask">
         <parent>bpm:startTask</parent>
         <properties>
            <property name="wf:notifyMe">
               <type>d:boolean</type>
               <default>false</default>
            </property>
         </properties>
         <mandatory-aspects>
            <aspect>bpm:assignees</aspect>//I have changed it to accept multiple assignees
         </mandatory-aspects>
      </type>

But when i run this webscript , it still can not assign workflow to multiple user.

By the way, is there any method to debug alfresco web script , or maybe set a break point ?

hi,
there is a javascript debugger: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/javascript/debugger for repository tier
& http://localhost:8080/share/service/api/javascript/debugger for presentation/Share tier.
cheers, jan
