DataList in a user task form?

sfoster — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 16:50:04 GMT

Hi,Is it possible to render a DataList in a user task form? I have already created and attached the DataList using an association, but this is rendered as an association as would be expected.

Sure, it is possible. One way would be to write a custom form component and then use the form configuration for that step in your workflow to tell Share to use your custom form component instead of the default association component.

Hi Jeff,

Can you give me a few pointers where to look on writing custom form components? I tried writing an alfresco component for this, but this just stopped the form from rendering properly. Should I use a subclass of Alfresco.component.Base, or are there restrictions on form components?

Maybe this could help you out with the datalist embedding in the workflow form -> https://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=41854
