Hello,
All Nuxeo workflows are built to support multiple document attached to a workflow instance. Indeed, the property of the workflow instance storing the list of document IDs is nt:targetDocumentsIds
(Get more info from reading https://nuxeo.github.io/api-playground/#/data/schemas/task).
That said, it is true we don't expose the button on a selection. This is a good feedback actually I encourage you to reference in our product roadmap: https://portal.prodpad.com/0a536da6-c3aa-11e7-84d9-06df22ffaf6f. This is very simple to implement with Studio:
- Create an automation which uses Context.StartWorkflow. Note it should receive
Documents
in input and output. - Create a button in Designer which targets the selection
- Hot reload, and you're done!
