optional grouptask in configurable_author_assign

Sharty

Hi All,

I would like to put optional concurrent grouptasks into the configurable_author_assignment.wft workflow. I am using TS6.1 on NT...

Optional concurrent usertaks work perfectly fine with the select[role...] in the cfg file of the workflow
e.g.:
review_type=concurrent[grouptask[groupbs\EMAIL_TeamsiteTest],grouptask[group:teamsitetest],select[roleptionalreviewer]]


The only problem is the optional grouptask, where the user can select, which group he would like to use.
e.g.
review_type=concurrent[grouptask[groupbs\EMAIL_TeamsiteTest],grouptask[group:teamsitetest],select[grouptask[roleptionalreviewer]]]
and some other regexes I tried out...

Does someone have some more ideas what I can do, to have concurrent grouptasks (2 mandatory, up to 5 additional), and that these groups can be selected by the user?

with the stuff right now, I always get the grouptask to work, but the sharedby is looking like that:
<sharedby>
<select v="ARRAY(0x207e964)"/>
</sharedby>

Cheers, Jens

problem solved with a couple of workarounds and squeezing of the wft file...
