Workflow Reference Attributes

Old Versions
#1

Hi,

Quick Question, I have created a process with a reference attribute to a class within CMDB. The domain is a 1:N which allows whoever starts the process to select from a list of contacts held in a database. However, when I advance the process to the next step, I continue to have the contacts attribute but marked as VariableToProcess_VIEW      contacts

When advancing to the next stage, the contacts attribute becomes empty and doesn't show what was selected in the previous step. However, I also have a lookup which I believe functions similarly, again with VIEW only, but the lookup works and it displays what was selected in the previous stage.

Could you advise if there is something I need to do for reference attributes after selecting the referenced card and advancing?

PS. This process / workflow thing is fantastic!

Thanks,

Jamie

Hi Jamie,

 

I have some questions about your problem:

  1. the description of the contact is empty? A reference attribute shows the description of the referenced card.
  2. when you select a contact in the reference attribute you select an item from the drop down list or you write something in the field?
  3. advancing the process is created the relation with the selected contact? You can see it in the relation Tab.
  4. anyway can you see into the database if there is a value in the corresponding column of the reference attribute? An integer value as the foreign key of the selected contact.
  5. there are script activities between the two user activities which modify the reference attribute?
