Regarding Workflow Attachment Version

tsconsultant

Hi all,

I have a requirement in workflow attachment section.

I am starting a workflow process with a doc file as an attachment. During the workflow process if anybody creates a new version of the document in the folder(repository), by default it will be reflected in the attached document in the attachment section of the workflow process also.

I don't want this to be happen in the workflow process.

The version should be created for the document in the Folder. But the attached document version in the workflow process should not be changed. It should have the version in which it was attached.

Advanced thanks for the reply.

Here is what I would suggest to get around this. The workflow attachment is a link to the document, which will always give you the latest version.

What I would do is two step:
One is to create a folder or a project that can be set to be hidden (let call this the "WorkInProgress" folder/project)
Two is to create a workflow helper class that will take the document that is being attached and then copy it over the WorkInProgress folder and bookmark that document instead.

This way no matter what happens on the other document item the attached document will always be the one when the workflow started.
