Hi

I have exactly the same problem. I have a reassign transition in my workflow and I need to define a new assignee. It works in general, but is not ergonomic for the user. I was thinking about adding a javascript to the process definition which would open a popup with selection of assignee upon each reassign, but Alfresco's javascript does not support methods like window.showModalDialog() or even prompt().

I am wondering if anybody has a solution. In any case it would be very handy to implement showModalDialog javascript method in future release if such anything does not exist yet.

Thank you
Jakub

The workflow is executing on the alfresco server, so any sort of script pop up would be problematic. The workflow should be operating on properties that are passed into the workflow engine rather than attempting to interact with a user.

This means that you would need to gather the user input in some sort of UI and then pass the values into the workflow. Which is how Alfresco Explorer and the "My Tasks" interfaces work.
