iwmetadata.cgi goes to submit wizard in CCStd

I have a workflow that gets users to tag their files with iwmetadata.cgi as one of the steps.

It works great in CCPro, but in CCStd after the user has set the metadata, they get all the extra wizard steps - Next Action, Comments, and Add to Favourites. Removing all of this stuff is a high priority - selling my users on this stuff is going to require simplicity and minimal mouse clicks.

I got shown how to remove this stuff using <param id="skip-tag-step" value="true"/> and <param id="skip-submit-step" value="true"/> in application_custom.xml, but the problem is when you click next, the workflow closes, and you are not moved to the next step in the workflow.

I thought setting <extra-properties><property id="cgi-behavior" value="popup"/> in workflow_custom.xml might help. But all that happens is when the CGI popups, the parent window goes to the CCStd home page, and when you click Next in the CGI, it closes, and you are not moved to the next step in the workflow.

Also, I'd like to be able to leave the wizard stuff turned on - I want my users to be able to edit a page from VisualPreview, finish, and go straight into a Submit workflow.

Thanks,
Sam

sounds strange, as removing the tagging step wrom the wizard, if you did it according to the book, does fix the issue.

I think it's because of the assumption iwmetadata.cgi makes about how it's called, when it's used in a workflow.

I'm not spending any more time on this issue personally, anyhow. I'm just going to move the attribute I was setting from metadata into the DCR, and possibly copy it into an EA if that proves useful to me. Removes an extra screen which suits my users down to the ground.
