Hi,
One of my advanced workflow steps should be document creation. User should enter his text and then simple text document should be created.
May be somebody could suggest how to do that from workflow?

Thanks

that is very easy: asuming that you know something about wf-s, you define type where you have prop defined. user will have to enter value to this.

<types>
<type name="scwf:submitHelloWorldTask">
<parent>bpm:startTask</parent>
<properties>
<property name="scwf:helloName">
<type>d:text</type>
<mandatory>true</mandatory>
<multiple>false</multiple>
</property>
</properties>
</type>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

// create file, make it versionable
var doc = userhome.createFile("checkmeout.txt");
doc.addAspect("cm:versionable");
doc.content = "original text";

// check it out and update content on the working copy
var workingCopy = doc.checkout();
workingCopy.content = "updated text 1";

// check it in
doc = workingCopy.checkin();

// check it out again
workingCopy = doc.checkout();
workingCopy.content = "updated text 2";

// check it in again, but with a version history note and as major version increment
doc = workingCopy.checkin("a history note", true);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

this would be how to create docs with text , update it ect.
