Workflow Modeler issue

Hi,

I have an issue with workflow modeler.

When i start a workflow (through Action-->New job), if i'm not located at the root of the workarea and there is no file or folder selected, the folder within the workarea where i am when i start the workflow is attached to the workflow?!?!
If i select a file or a folder, that folder where i'm located is not attached to the workflow, it only happens if i don't select anything.

This doesn't seem to happen with "old" wfts.

Is it another bug in workflow modeler? Is there any workaround, so the folder doesn't get attach?

Env:
TeamSite 6.7.1.0 on Solaris 9
WF Modeler 1.0.0.0

Thanks,
Patrick

Have you coded the workflow to automatically attach files from the location where wf is started?

Thanks for your help,

No, even with a simple workflow created using workflow modeler (i.e: start --> usertask -->end), if i'm not located at the root of the workarea, the folder where the workflow is started is attached and i can see it in the filelist within the usertask.

It happens only if i don't select any files/folders and start a workflow.

Even i saw this issue in WFM 1.0.0.0 ...The only workaround is to use the detach option from the TS UI to remove the attached folder....

Either correct or not, this behavior is not peculiar to the Modeler.

Traditional wft schema also manifests it under certain conditions, look for example [thread=19061]here[/thread].
It seems that it is WF Engine feature (or bug) that is not related to WF Data Capture model.
