Multiple workflow items bug?

[simon]

Hi there,

Still using Alfresco Enterprise 1.1.2 and tying to add "simple workflow rules" to some spaces.

Adding one workflow to a space is not a problem but if you add more then one simple workflow rule only the last one added is used. It doesn't make a difference if this second rule is added in the same rule, different rule or even in a different space where the document is moved to.

1. Defined a rule to add workflow A
2. Defined a rule to add workflow B

3. Add a document to the space and try to approve or reject it

You'll see that only workflow B is available… can anyone confirm this behavior (looked at the Alfresco JIRA but couldn't find anything yet)?

Currently, only one workflow can be attached to any single item.  Not sure at this time whether we should allow multiple workflows or if the rule UI should allow more control over priority of rules.

Thanks David…

Both functionalities could be helpful for us. A priority system for rules would be nice, the execution order of rules is not always clear now. Cut & paste functionalities for rules sounds nice as well but you can't have it all.

Currently, only one workflow can be attached to any single item.

It's possible to add multiple workflows in the UI so in my opinion this is a bug. It shouldn't be possible to add multiple workflows in the "Create rules" screen when the Alfresco system doesn't support this.
