Hi,

While developing an advanced workflow I've encountered a problem with the usage of a multiple text property. What I'm trying to do is make an aspect that has a multiple text property field that has a constraint on a predefined list of values. It works fine when I test it on content model BUT it throws error messages in my alfresco.log file when I put the same field in the workflow model.

The aspect code is:

      <aspect name="ziswf:distributionlistgroup">
      <properties>
         <property name="ziswf:distributionlistgroup">
            <title>Distribution list by groups</title>
            <type>d:text</type>
            <multiple>true</multiple>
            <default>ZIS.ALL</default>
            <constraints>
               <constraint ref="zis:workdepartment"/>
            </constraints>
            </property>
      </properties>
      </aspect>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

So the previously mentioned aspect should contain a text property that takes multiple values from the zis:workdepartment predefined list of values. As I said, in the content model it works fine, but in the workflow model it throws an error message:

I would suggest posting your constraint as well
