Can we add a directory to a Task

Hi All,

Can we add a directory to a task? Would addFile work for that?

Best Regards,

I know you can submit a folder and it will get attached to a task, but I have never tried to add one by hand.

This is something that would take maybe an hour to POC at the most, why don't you try ?

I would guess "no" though it is an interesting idea which might work.

Generally it's better to create an iterative list of all the files within the directory (and it's sub-directories) and add the files to the task. You could use AddMultipleFiles() to do it in one step - though I tend to prefer using just AddFile as AddMultipleFiles does not (as I recall) provide decent diagnostic information in the event of failure.

Hi Adam, Thanks for your nice response. I have been doing that for a while however would this also attach the directory? Basically, I want to delete this directory in my workflow and then add it to the task so the deletion can be seen by a reviewer in another task....

Ah - you're dealing with deletions ... well, as has already been said - try it and see what happens. It should be farily easy to whip up a test case to verify if it works or not.
