Assuming that you have an active workflow task in the correct state you can signal a transition from either the Java or Java Script API. The workflow engine will then move on according to your workflow definition.

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Workflow_Reqs_and_Design#Workflow_APIs

/**
* Signal the transition from one Workflow Node to another
*
* @param pathId the workflow path to signal on
* @param transition the transition to follow (or null, for the default transition)
* @return the updated workflow path
*/
@Auditable(parameters = {"pathId", "transitionId"})
public WorkflowPath signal(String pathId, String transitionId);

I tried this but, no way. I am really a big fan of these forums where there is no activity. Really.


            var myAction = actions.create("simple-workflow");
            myAction.parameters.name = "MY_setReadyForValidation";
            myAction.parameters["approve-move"] = true;
            myAction.parameters["approve-step"] = "Accept";
            // execute action against a document    
            result.nodeRef = myAction.execute(fileNode);

In the contrary, I need to assign a confirmation dialog to every button clicked in a workflow node. The purpose is anticipating misclicking (click a wrong button). Can anyone show the way?

I just need to show "Are you sure?" and show YES button and NO button.
