Alfresco Share content rules - Move action form error?

[michalwrobel]

(Alfresco 4.0.a)
I recently tried to add a content rule to move file from one dir to another. But after selecting 'Move' action the destination directory picker doesn't show up. It's fine when selecting copy. I assume it's a small error of Alfresco developers? How to correct it?
p.s
Adding content rule from explorer interface works fine.

You could create a javascript that does the move to a destination flder and make an execute javascript rule.

should be simple. i.e:

document.move(companyhome.childByNamePath("sites/my site/documentlibrary"))‍

I think this issue was fixed in 4.0.b

Thanks,

This issue maybe was removed but another emerged.
I can't even reach the Create Rule panel because of server error.

I think this issue was fixed in 4.0.b

Thanks,

It is not…

Problem lies in javascript file SHARE_HOME/components/rules/config/rule-config-action(-min).js

Both "Move" and "Copy" use functions from "Copy" to render the picker, but the "Copy" action got additional parameter "deep copy" which is null for "Move".

         Copy:
         {
            text: function(configDef, ruleConfig, configEl)
            {
              …
            },
            edit: function(configDef, ruleConfig, configEl)
            {
              ….

               // Make deep-copy visible and make the display label be placed as a unit
               var deepCopy = this._getParamDef(configDef, "deep-copy");
                 deepCopy._type = null;
                 deepCopy._displayLabelToRight = true;
                 deepCopy._hideColon = true;
               return configDef;
            }
         },
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

When "Move" action is selected, it does not have "deep-copy" so var deepCopy is null and that breaks the code. Just put an if statement that checks for null value like:

               
// Make deep-copy visible and make the display label be placed as a unit
var deepCopy = this._getParamDef(configDef, "deep-copy");
if(deepCopy != null){   
    deepCopy._type = null;
    deepCopy._displayLabelToRight = true;
    deepCopy._hideColon = true;
}
return configDef;
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

P.S. be sure to minify and replace rule-config-action-min.js
