Setting Attribute Vals when initiating a Workflow
Motorola_Compass_(motocomp1_-_(deleted))
Is it possible to set attribute values in the initial start step of a workflow when it's initiated via LAPI. For the "StartWorkflow" LAPI call, the documentation lists the "addition" input variable but it states that only attachments, not attributes, can be specified.When I've called StartWorkflow on a workflow map that had all the attribute info marked as required in the initial start step, the workflow ends up in the second step (after the initial start step) with no attribute information filled out (obviously since none was passed in).Thanks-Jim Bennett

I haven't done this for a while, but I seem to remember that before starting the workflow you have to load it first. Once loaded, you then have to access the Work packages, find the one for the attributes, set the required values, save the work package, and then start the workflow.Note that you do not save the map definition in the above process.Hope this helps,Phil.
