taskspace open items issue

Nikitozzy

Hello.

I have some issue with openitems tab. I made action that creates custom-typed object and open document view associated with its type:

ArgumentList execArgs = new ArgumentList();
 execArgs.add("objectId", rptObject.getObjectId().getId());
 ActionService.execute("view",execArgs, context, component, null);

I perform that action through invoke button, it create new object, but does not open document view - OpenItems tab is empty. After that I switch to some other tab of application and my document view appearing on openitems! I try to open that objects from MyFolder - it works well, I can see DV right after performing of view action.

Is it know taskspace issue? Have someone face it and got some cure?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

This thread is a little old but we just had a similar problem and I couldn't find much other information on it so hopefully this will help others. We required an action button which creates a custom object and then opens the associated taskspace form for editing its attributes. I created a Basic Action in Taskspace which is associated with the button, in /System/Applications/<taskspace application name>/Actions/ts_plain_actions.xml. For the Taskspace action implementation however, I extended the OpenItemRedirectActionExecution class to reuse its execution logic.

In summary, it creates the custom object and then passes it via a new "args" object to the super.execute() method which uses the action configuration to determine how view the object as usual. I'm still not sure if there's a better solution, but it seems to be that Forms Builder doesn't appear to support creating a new object using a Form Template so something like this is needed.

Regards,

John
