In JavaScript I don't know, but I do that kind of thing in Java (at workflow startup I replace all package items with copies in a public space so all reviewers have access to the package items).

Two new Javascript methods were added in 2.1.

addNode(ScriptNode node) ‍

Adds an existing node as a child of this node.

removeNode(ScriptNode node) ‍

Removes all parent-child relationships between two nodes. The child node will be cascade deleted if one of the associations was the primary association, i.e. the one with which the child node was created.

You can use these to add and remove documents from the workflow package.

e.g.

bpm_package.removeNode(bpm_package.children[0]);
bpm_package.addNode(anotherNode);‍‍
