Hi all!!I'm trying to create the possibility to find/select/add a group to the people selected box on the Assign Workflow Dialog. To do this I'm trying to understand the file workflow.js located on share/modules/documentlibrary/workflow.js.So far I understand that I need to load the Group Finder Com

I would try and stay away from make YUI changes and see if you can hack the webscript that does the search for people to return groups as well, in the same format.

You'll also have to create custom webscript to deal with workflow assignment. Not tried it myself.

If you want to go down this route, use the Authority Picker instead of the People Picker - it supports retrieval of both users and groups.

As Zaizi says, you'll also have to do some work in the data webscript in order to pass the different parameters to the workflow APIs.

Thanks,
