You could try adding your workflow id to workflow.get.html.ftl (webscript in modules / documentlibrary) - it's untested so may or may not work.

Thanks,

hi mike

thanks for the heads up on the workflow.get.html.ftl.
looking at the file the workflows are hard coded.


<option value="wf:review" selected="selected">Review &amp; Approve</option>
<option value="wf:adhoc">Adhoc Task</option>
‍‍‍‍

unfortunately i have no idea what the values 'wf:adhoc' refer to.

i suspect placing my definition id as the value wont work.

but this is definitely a starting point.

"wf:adhoc" goes for the name of the workflow, as you can read in the beginning of its own file adhoc_processDefinition.xml :


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<process-definition xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1" name="wf:adhoc">
 …
‍‍‍‍‍

So, add an option value with the name of your own custom workflow, this should be working

I would be very interested to know if you managed to get this working?
