Hey everyone. I have been trying to alter the serial review workflow to send out emails to each approver on the list when it is his turn to approve the submitted content. I have changed the submit_processdefinition.xml file in alfresco/workflow directory.I am running enterprise 3.2 from a war file

Does your current assignee actually have an "email" property? It's probably best not to assume that everyone has an email property and code defensively.

The way I understand it, I suppose that mrogers is telling you to include an if clause to verify if the value that you got from current_assignee.properties.email is not null.

Anyway, strictly speaking the error that you are being raised is:
TypeError: Cannot read property "email" from undefined (AlfrescoJS#1)

This typically occurs when you try to read a property from a null object. In this case, maybe the current_assignee object or its properties might not be set or retrieved.

Are you sure that the current_assignee object is properly set? Perhaps you could be retrieving a null value from bpm_assignees.get(wcmwf_approveCnt)
