Disabling workflow “start” button after one click

System

Hi,

Teamsite 6 workflow engine will create multiple jobs when you click on “start” button multiple times in new job screen before it transitions to the next screen. We had a workaround for Teamsite 5.52, but the workaround does not work anymore with the new GUI design. Has anyone found a solution for this bug?

Disabling submit button after one click is a common design with web forms. And it is necessary for all web forms as this type of error happens frequently. I was told that there was a feature request filed for this issue filed 4-5 months ago, but no date has been given for possible patch.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, IWOV didn't give the "Submit" link an id. You could write some ugly javascript in your pre_tagtable_html to iterate over all the links and get a reference to it, then disable it. Or, since they did put an id on the form, you could possibly have a script in your pre_tagtable_html set up a submit handler for the form that would increment a global variable and return false if it were already > 0. I haven't tested either of those, but they should work. We haven't had problems with clicky users so far.
