hi mabu,

the line

<aspect>bpm:assignee2</aspect>‍

refers to an aspect definition.
Alfresco tells you that it can't find the aspect bpm:assignee2 because you didn't define any aspect with name bpm:assignee2.

I'd suggest to create a property on your task that represents the 2nd person of the workflow and use thisone in your process definition.

For example create a property assignee2 of type d:text on your workflowtask.

The aspect bpm:assignee encapsulates an association to a person.

You can replicate this aspect if you wish to support multiple assignees.

e.g.

<aspect name="bpm:assignee2">
            <associations>

                <association name="bpm:assignee2">
                    <source>
                        <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                        <many>false</many>
                    </source>
                    <target>
                        <class>cmerson</class>
                        <mandatory>true</mandatory>
                        <many>false</many>
                    </target>
                </association>

            </associations>
</aspect>

Hello,

Thank you for this. Very helpful.
I would like to add a field sendMail in the property of the assigneeX. I have done this :

model.xml


…
                <type name="sgfwf:submitStartReviewByBoss3">
                        <parent>sgfwf:common</parent>
                        <!– To select a user –>
                        <mandatory-aspects>
                                <aspect>sgfwf:assignee1</aspect>
                                <aspect>sgfwf:assignee2</aspect>
                                <aspect>sgfwf:assignee3</aspect>
                        </mandatory-aspects>
                </type>
…
<aspects>
                <aspect name="sgfwf:assignee1">
                        <properties>
                                <property name="sgfwf:sendMail">
                                        <type>d:boolean</type>
                                        <default>true</default>
                                </property>
                        </properties>
                        <associations>
                                <association name="sgfwf:assignee1">
                                        <source>
                                                <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                                                <many>false</many>
                                        </source>
                                        <target>
                                                <class>cm:person</class>
                                                <mandatory>true</mandatory>
                                                <many>false</many>
                                        </target>
                                </association>
                        </associations>
                </aspect>

Actually, in share the workflow shows the user selector. All is working. However I don't know how to show the email field sendMail (in share-config-custom.xml) and how to get this property in my workflow (I get null) :

Activiti workflow


<userTask id="modifyReview1" name="Validation 1"
                        activiti:assignee="${sgfwf_assignee1.properties.userName}"
                        activiti:formKey="sgfwf:modifyReviewTaskReviewByBoss3">
                        <extensionElements>
                                <activiti:taskListener event="create"
                                        class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.tasklistener.ScriptTaskListener">
                                        <activiti:field name="script">
                                                <activiti:string>
                                                        if (typeof bpm_workflowDueDate != 'undefined') task.dueDate = bpm_workflowDueDate;
                                                        if (typeof bpm_workflowPriority != 'undefined') task.priority = bpm_workflowPriority;
                                                        logger.debug(" mails create : "+task.getVariable('sgfwf_assignee1.properties.sendMail'));
                                                        </activiti:string>
                                        </activiti:field>
                                </activiti:taskListener>

Any ideas ?
