Need to externally add group in reviewers list.

I have a created the datasource, which on execution populates the
list of reviewers in custom_instantiation.cfg

<item pathid="reviewers" name="reviewers">
<label>Reviewer
<select required="t">
<inline command="Datasource:executeComponent:TS_Reviewers"/>
</select>
</item>

But, want to add one more group in this reviewers list, so if the user selects that group, email should go all the users in that group.
I tried by adding that in js script on OnItemChange event, but as soon as we click on this Item, my javascript code has no use, because datasource execution overwrite it. I am not able add that group name in the list. I have to send mails to users in the group, if group is selected.
If anyone has done similar to this. how can i do that ?

Thanks......

Other than the missing end-label tag in your example - did you think to just hard-code an option either above or below the inline directive but within the select element - e.g.:[html]

[/html]

Thanks for response. I tried bellow code

<select required="t">
<inline command="Datasource:executeComponent:TS_Reviewers"/>
<option>MyCMSGroup</option>
</select>

Both way above or bellow the inline, but didn't reflected in the list.

That might be the right choice is you were working directly in HTML - but for a DCT it should be:[html][/html]Try that and see if it works any better.

Thanks, it worked.
When i am selecting this group name, i am getting error in worlflow instantiation, which is :

"com.interwoven.cssdk.access.CSInvalidUserException: (No such user) "

I know i am selecting the group name, hence it is giving this error.
Can i be able to avoid it and proceed with workflow?

I suggest you fix your code to look for both users and groups (probably through exception handling)

Hi Thanks for response.

I have written the code to get the user email addreses in the group.
And changed the ccmail_header.tpl to get this list seprated by comma(,).

But how should i pass the group name to the ccmail_header.tpl

<iw_iterate var='group' list='user_task.users.group'>

all the code to get the user email addreses seprated by comma(,)
in the $email. then give value

<iw_value name = '$email'/>

</iw_iterate>

From which dcr the ccmail_header.tpl reading the value?
How to pass the groupname to this .tpl ?

ccmail_header.tpl reads the XML dump of the workflow (the same XML that is read to construct the mail body) - I believe you can get a sample of this by enabling the $DEBUG variable in iw_solution_email.ipl and having the task send email. With that information, you should be able to figure out how to code the TPL to retrieve the group name information.
