Decision node

[roseta]

I would like to introduce a decision node in my Advanced Workflow, but I'm not sure how can I do it. I'm using Alfresco 3.4d and xml files for advanced wokflows… So far I guess I must be some code like this one, in the processdefinition file, but I't doesn't work, any ideas, please?

…

<task-node name="informInitiator">
           <task name="new:informarInitiatorTask" swimlane="initiator"/>
            <transition name="ok" to="join1"/>
            <transition name="reject" to="join1"/>         
    </task-node>
   
   <join name="join1">
      <transition name="" to="inform"></transition>
   </join>
   
   
   <decision name="inform">
         <transition name="" to="informarTutor">
            <condition>#{bpm_package.children[0].parent == "Tutor"}</condition>
         </transition>
         <transition name="" to="informStudent">
            <condition>#{bpm_package.children[0].parent == "Student"}</condition>
         </transition>
         <transition name="reject" to="rejectedTopic"/>
   </decision>

I would really appreciate some comments, please! Or could anyone give me some link where a decision node is used? Thanks!

I know this is an old thread. Sorry no one had a response for you at the time you asked your question.

It appears to me that your bpm_package.children[0].parent reference is not quite right. If you are trying to make a decision based on a property of the workflow item's parent, you need to specify what that property is. So it would look more like:

bpm_package.children[0].parent.properties['cm:name'] == 'Tutor'‍

Or something like that.

You might find this workflow tutorial helpful. It includes some decision examples.
