Have the user select multiple files before starting the job...?

What am I missing here? Please be a little more detailed on your requirements.

I'll have to assume that you're trying to accomplish something more complicated than having the user select more than one file ahead of time.

Okay, so if, for instance, you wanted to attach a generated file's DCR with your job, from the instantiation screen, you already have __ELEM__('iw_file') which you may have parsed into an array we'll call @submit_file. You could execute a command to get the appropriate extended attribute on your DCR(s), push the value of that extended attribute -- which will give you the relative path to your DCR -- and add them explicitly into the first task in your workflow spec with the following:

\n");
for (my $i=0; $i < @submit_file; ++$i)
{
__INSERT__("
\n");
}
__INSERT__("\n");
}

The requirement is little different here.Once the user selects a file and initiates the workflow.On the job initialization screen i have used which is used for browsing the file.Now i need to perform two things here:
1) Browse the internal teamsite files
2) Attach multiple files here ,may be on click of a a button another browse element appears.

You're better off having an option on initiation screen to "Add more files" - as in a check box and then have a user task as the first task if it's selected.

The user task interface provides all the options needed to add files.

Could you please put some more light on this.How can we attach multiple files from the server.

Take a look at the functionality of the user task - it has options to add files from there. I'm suggesting you add files from a user task at the start of the workflow instead of the initiation screen.

This method is a clear usability minus. Depending on the users, why expose to them the workflow view? Why require them to perform that many more clicks to add more files?

If the users are less advanced and if the timeline can afford an extra day or so for putting this item in, I'd go for it.
