Workflow and Locking
frogman
Hi again! More newbie questions...
We are using the Submit locking model - I took a look at the doco and found some technical docs on the support site and can understand the way things are working with one exception:
Files that are attached to the workflow remain writable when submitted by the user who created/edited them. That is correct behaviour under the Submit model I believe.
I am using an external task to attach a file that I then get the user to update via a usertask. This file is in the same workarea but a different (sibling) directory. The file's icon shows it is not locked however, the Edit option is not available. I have set "lock" to "f" on the usertask.
I am confused and any help/advice would be appreciated.

Does this user have permission to edit this file anyway ? Check file properties. Did you make this task read-only by chance ?
If the file was created by an external task, then ther perms can be incorrect for another user to edit.

Hi Andy,
In file properties:
Owner: Me
Permissions: Groups same for all files
Task is not read only
File created via templating
I am using $task -> AddFile to attach the file.
Very strange!!

What path are you providing to AddFile()?
Are you checking the return results from AddFile() or just assuming it's working?
I.e. - the reason the file might not be getting locked may be because it's not really getting added to the task (also, just adding a file to a task will not lock the file in that task - however if a subsequent task is transitioned into and that task has the lock="t" (but you're setting it to "f") attribute set *then* the file should become locked.
