Hi,

Assigned to in the issue datalist is a association
so this is how you need to get the username from the association

var person=document.assocs["dl:issueAssignedTo"][0];
var username=person.properties["{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}userName"];‍‍

Now you can use the username as variable to people.getPerson() as

 people.getPerson(username);‍

Hope this helps

Thanks alot you have made my day.

We are using this feature now in an engineering project enviroment so that once we have a change order we can log it in the data list and then assign an engineer to the task (workflow).

Hi,

Im new to Alfresco. My requirement is somewhat similar to yours. I want to start a Workflow whenever i create my new custom datalist. I understood from your post that it is possible by creating a rule and script. But im not sure how to do it. Can you please help me on this. A tutorial or a detailed reply would help on this.

Hi
Create a script and upload the script into scripts folder in Data Dictionary. No go to data lists folder in the site you have created and go to the folder that is your custom datalist. Now create rule on that folder to execute the created script on every new item into the folder.
Hope this helps.
