topic Advanced Workflow : task-assign + Task Done in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/advanced-workflow-task-assign-task-done/m-p/95892#M65833 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I'm finding two pieces of strange behavior with scripts in my advanced Workflow. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I'm trying to send e-mails to users when they are assigned a task using the task-assign event. That's working fine. But when the user clicks "Task Done" on the task to continue it on that workflow path, I'm finding task-assign is getting fired again, and the user is getting another e-mail before it moves to the next task.&nbsp; This is obviously not desirable.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So, to work around it, I started by putting taskInstance.previousActorId and taskInstance.actorId in the body of the e-mail to see their values. The first time into the task, it's null and "author", respectively. The e-mail that gets sent when I click "Task Done", they're both set to "author". </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I figured a taskInstance.previousActorId!=taskInstance.actorId conditional surrounding my script would fix the problem, but it seems in both cases that conditional is returning true. I'm pretty perplexed by this. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Here's the relevant portions of my advanced workflow. Any help would be appreciated.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />…&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR />&lt;start-state name="start"&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;task name="ygwf:startSurvey" swimlane="initiator" /&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;transition name="" to="draft" /&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/start-state&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;swimlane name="author"&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;assignment<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment"&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;actor&gt;#{ygwf_author}&lt;/actor&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/assignment&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/swimlane&gt;<BR /><BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;task-node name="draft"&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;task name="ygwf:draft" swimlane="author"&gt;<BR /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
