Hi experts,

While starting the workflow, (ie) in wf:submitAdhocTask form, I want to remove the assignee option. And during the workflow design, I wanted to hardcode the candidategroups. Basically behind the scenes, I want to assign the candidategroup in wf:submitAdhocTask form.

Please suggest me.

Hi,

Are you customizing any out of the box workflow.  You can make change in the workflowModel.xml . Instead of bpm:assignee , change it to groupAssignee. NOTE : This will affect workflows which are using  below type.

<type name="wf:submitAdhocTask">
         <parent>bpm:startTask</parent>
         <properties>
            <property name="wf:notifyMe">
               <type>d:boolean</type>
               <default>false</default>
            </property>
         </properties>
         <mandatory-aspects>
            <aspect>bpm:groupAssignee</aspect>
         </mandatory-aspects>
      </type>

Second step :  you can now hard code  group in the process definition , for e.g.  Use the below code for that specific task.

<assignment class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment">
               <actor>#{candidategroups}</actor>
    </assignment>

OR
<action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
               <script>
                    executionContext.setVariable("bpm_groupAssignee",candidategroups);
               </script>
</action>

I would suggest to see parallelreview_group_processdefinition.xml and review_pooled_processdefinition.xml  for  reference. The files are located in <install-app>|tomcat|webapps|alfresco|WEB-INF|classes|alfresco|workflow.

Thanks,
