You might be able to wrap the call to iwmetadata.cgi within another, custom, CGI - such that you tunnel all the form variables except the task id information to iwmetadata.cgi - that should prevent iwmetadata.cgi from automatically bringing up a prompt for the task transition comment. However, you'd still have to figure out how to determine (in your wrapper) that the iwmetadata.cgi process is completed in order for your wrapper to perform the actual task transition - which may not be that trivial.

You also might be able to use /iw-cc/tag CCI URL with a specified done_page parameter instead to accomplish pretty much the same thing as described above. (See the section on "Using URL Commands in TeamSite Workflow" section of the TeamSite User Interface Customization Guide for more details).

Thank you Ghoti,
Could you please provide more information on this.

No - I think I provided sufficient information as it is. Perhaps you can elaborate on what it is that you believe I left out (besides the actual code, which I'm not going to write for you)?
