Hi,
I've this javascript for start a my advanced workflow, but the problem born when during the initialization when I want to add more than one document to the wf.
This is the script:

for (i=0;i<space.children.length;i++){
   /*Lo script viene fatto partire nella cartella "Documenti Entranti", dove verranno create le carie cartelle per i vari uffici,
    *    per accedere a queste uso i children.*/
   var nome=space.children[i].name;
   if (nome == "1" || nome == "2" || nome == "3"){
      logger.log(nome);
      var rifContenutiCartella = space.children[i].children;
      var contenutoCont = rifContenutiCartella.length;
      logger.log("Contenuto sottocartella "+contenutoCont);
      if (presenzaContenuto(rifContenutiCartella)){
         /*Aggiungo un file txt che mi raccolga tutti i nomi dei doc presi per il WF, in questo doc partirà in WF */
         var docCreato = space.children[i].createFile(nome+".txt");
         var contents = new Array();
         docCreato.content +="ELENCO DOCUMENTI INTERESSATI NEL WORKFLOW: "
         for (i=0;i<rifContenutiCartella.length;i++){
            contents[i] = rifContenutiCartella[i];
            docCreato.content += "\r\n\r\ "+(i+1)+") "+rifContenutiCartella[i].name;
         }
         var docCreatoPDF = docCreato.transformDocument("application/pdf");
         for (i=0;i<contents.length;i++){
            logger.log(contents[i].name);
         }
         var workflow = actions.create("start-workflow");
         workflow.parameters.workflowName = "jbpm$wfEntePAD:EntePubblico";
         workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDescription"] = "WORKFLOW";
         for (i=0;i<contents.length;i++){
            workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowPackage"] = contents[i];
         }
         workflow.execute(docCreatoPDF);
      }
   }
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The workflow start with only the document "docCreatoPDF", but I want to assignee it also the contents array document…

the problem is at the end of file:

for (i=0;i<contents.length;i++){
   workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowPackage"] = contents[i];
}‍‍‍‍

It's possible?
Help please
THANKS

It's rather easy to do in javascript from within the workflow. As the bpm_package is recognized as a scriptNode, we can write to it the same way we can write to any other sort of node. Your code would look something like this:

for (i=0;i<contents.length;i++){
            bpm_package.addNode(contents[i]);
         };
