Default scripts inside Workflow

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if is possible to call default scripts (like the ones in "Company Home > Data Dictionary > Scripts") into a process definition so that the same workflow, calling the same script, has different behaviours depending on what I locally wrote in the script (for example, I may want to create folders with slightly different names).

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

   I think it's easy to do : In your workflow, we will have JavaScript code that will read the content of your script file and will eval it (JavaScript is an interpreted language that can evaluate a piece of code dynamically).

  Try something like this (not tested):

function evaluateScript(scriptPath){
   var result;
   var scriptContent = companyhome.childByNamePath(scriptPath).content;
   try{
      result = eval(scriptContent);
   }
   catch(exception){
      result = "error"; 
   }
   return(result);
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

    I hope it will help you.

    Regards,
