dynamic list property

[narrowengineer]

Is it possible to create a property which renders as a dropdown box and contains a list of values which is dynamically populated when the task is opened?

What I want to do is be able to provide a list of possible folders in which to copy the associated document to when the workflow completes.

I have not been able to find anything documented around dynamic list properties.

Thanks

You need to implement a Constraint:

I see that I can add a LIST contraint but how would I go about setting the allowed values via script?

[claudio_martins]

If you need dynamic values on your list, you need to implement the following interface:

org.alfresco.service.cmr.dictionary.Constraint‍

or extend

org.alfresco.repo.dictionary.constraint.AbstractConstraint‍

Have a look at the following section:

Ok, so I need to write a Java class to do it.  Is there no way to do it otherwise?

[claudio_martins]

AFAIK, you can only have dynamic lists implement the above mentioned interface and class.
