Update WF Attribute with a variable without single quotes

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello everyone,

We are using a WebReport to update a WF attribute with the WF Owner Id (initiator), it is being set but with a single quotes around it.

We are using the below to get the "OwnerId" from the WF, and set it to the WF attribute "InitiatorID"

[LL_REPTAG_'[LL_REPTAG_'[LL_REPTAG_TRIGGERID /]' WFINFO:OWNERID /]' SETWFATTR:IntiatorID SHOW /]

It results in the below:

We tried using the Replace tag but with no use, does any one have any idea about how to remove this single quotes?

Thanks.

Does this compile for you?

[LL_REPTAG_[LL_REPTAG_'[LL_REPTAG_TRIGGERID /]' WFINFO:OWNERID /] SETWFATTR:IntiatorID SHOW /]

appuq

or even

[LL_REPTAG_TRIGGERID /] I guess this gives you the WFID when a WR is involved it receives these implicit variables

WORKID [LL_REPTAG_&workID /]
SUBWORKID [LL_REPTAG_&subWorkID /]
TaskID [LL_REPTAG_&taskID /]

So to get information about a workflow you can really tee off that

[LL_REPTAG_'[LL_REPTAG_&workID /]' WFINFO:OWNERID SETWFATTR:'IntiatorID' /]

What I am thinking is you are actually adding the two single quotes by your many single quotes inside so the parser thinks it is a concatenation of '+WFOWNERID+'

Hi @appuq,
Thank you so much for your reply.

We managed to solve it as follows,

[LL_REPTAG_"[LL_REPTAG_'[LL_REPTAG_TRIGGERID /]' WFINFO:OWNERID /]" SETVAR:userid /][LL_REPTAG_'[LL_REPTAG_"[LL_REPTAG_!userid /]" USERINFO:MAILADDRESS /]' SETVAR:useremail /][LL_REPTAG_'[LL_REPTAG_!useremail /]' SETWFATTR:IntiatorEmail SHOW /]

A lot of these are also available OOB using Dynamic Replacement variables although I haven't completely understood what your WF does.
