How to retrive the selected values in the combo box.

Hi,
How to retrive the selected values in the combo box.
Down I have the sample code which I am using inside the TAG_info section.

I tried with this code.which I got from one of solution wf. Its is not returning
all of the selected value but only the first selected value.

for(my $i=0; $i < $kount; $i++) {
$pred_list .= "\n";
}

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated..

TAG_info(
contributor =>
[ html => make_l10n_input_with_roles_callout("contributor", undef, undef, __VALUE__("iw_locale"), "author"),
label => "Content Contributor",
error_msg => 'Please pick a contributor',
],
iw_desc =>
[ html => "",
label => "Job Description",
error_msg => 'Please enter a description',
],
reviewer =>
[ html => &get_branch_edition(), # this return the select combo(multiple)
label => "Content Reviewer(s)",
error_msg => 'Please choose a reviewer',
],
);

What is $kount? How is it set?
I believe this code (untested) would be cleaner/better:

my $pred_list = q();
foreach my $rev (__ELEM__("reviewers")){
    $pred_list .= qq(<pred v="Review_$rev"/>\n);
}

TAG_info(
contributor =>
[ html => make_l10n_input_with_roles_callout("contributor", undef, undef, __VALUE__("iw_locale"), "author"),
label => "Content Contributor",
error_msg => 'Please pick a contributor',
],
iw_desc =>
[ html => "",
label => "Job Description",
error_msg => 'Please enter a description',
],
reviewer =>
[ html => &get_branch_edition(), # this return the select combo(multiple)
label => "Content Reviewer(s)",
error_msg => 'Please choose a reviewer',
],
);[/html]

Why are you calling a subroutine named get_branch_edition to retrieve a list of reviewers?
Are you sure this subroutine returns an HTML formatted multi-select list?

hi ghoti,
use TeamSite::Usertask qw(
cleanup_paths
get_names_from_file
make_l10n_input_with_roles_callout
get_mail_cmd
make_branchpathlist
);
Actually I need to use the get_names_from_file from the above IW lib.
It is returning me only the first item selected, eventhough the
"select box " is multiple.

BTW, how to ensure that a method returns an HTML formatted multi-select list?
Note: going thru the pdf, I see the syntax as __VALUE__($tagname,$encoding);
But my doubt is what should be the value of $encoding?

also,my $kount= __ELEM__('reviewer');

Not sure but if you replace __VALUE__("reviewer[$i]") with __TAG__ it should work.

Not retriving all the selected value ....

That makes more sense than what you previously posted. (What version of TS are you using?)

Keep in mind that the perl code will be executed multiple times (I forget whether it's 2 or 3 times) during the course of instantiation.

The encoding is, I believe, optional. As for seeing what's happening - go to around line 140 of your WFT and uncomment the call to debug then instantiate the workflow in debug mode and look at the green portion of the displayed output - that should show you what you want to know.

(What version of TS are you using?) TS 6.5
(I forget whether it's 2 or 3 times) during.. its 2 times in this case

Please find the debug code, the successor task and the pred task are setting as review_1 and review_2 rather than the actual names.

Is this correct way of setting,please let me know more on this functionality.

Note: When I tried with the hardcoded values its is working fine..

I think the error is that the combo box value is not returning all the selected
reviewers only the first selected one.

so I have removed that implementation and acheived in another way.
Please find the WFT attached.

hi,
In the concurrent_approval.wft, how can we ensure that
when any one of the reviewer rejects the contents then the workflow
should end.

How can this be acheived here..
