Attach space as workflow package

[bpeters]

Dear all,

Does any one if it is possible to attach a space (like for example a Fileplan in Records Management) to a workflow as a workflow package in version 2.0?

Thanks in advance,

Bas

I am also very interested in this, I hope someone can tell us how to make this work.

Thanks.

It's possible to use any existing container (Space, folder, …) as a workflow package.  However, currently, this feature is only exposed via the Workflow Java API - http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Workflow_Reqs_and_Design#Workflow_Service

Take a look at the method

public NodeRef createPackage(NodeRef container);‍

.

Unfortunately, the "Start Workflow" Action doesn't allow an existing space to be passed in.  But, it wouldn't be difficult to modify - take a look at org.alfresco.repo.workflow.StartWorkflowActionExecuter.java.

We'll look to fix this in the core as several requests have now been made.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Do you have any idea in witch version of Alfresco this feature will be available?

Thanks.
