Using attachment list as both input and output in UserServiceV2/AssignTask duplicates attachments

Sep 7, 2011 9:16 AM

Hi,

 

If I want to pass prior attachments to a user using v2 of  AssignTask I can pass in a list of documents (I'm calling it  attachmentList) in the Attachments tab. If I set Output Attachments to  the same variable, I get any new attachments the 2nd user may have  added, but the first user's attachments are now duplicated. If the  process is repeated, I'll have triplicates from user 1 and duplicates  from user 2.

 

What is the proper way to go about showing all  prior attachments to a new workspace user while allowing them to add to  the list, without this happening?

    use the following XPATH expression in the output attach

    ments variable

     

    /process_data/attachmentsList[1]

     

    This will prevent duplicating your existing attachments.

    This solution is not working for me with LiveCycle ES3

     

     

    Approver 1

    ----------------------

    Custom Container

     

    Attachments Tab >

     

    Input List :  attachList                                                [ datatype List <document> ]

     

    Output attachments:   /process_data/attachList[1]         [ xpath expression ]

     

      

    Approver 2

    ----------------

    Custom Container

     

    Attachments Tab :

     

    Input List : attachList

     

    Output attachments: /process_data/attachList[1]

     

     

    Approver 3

    ----------------

    Custom Container

     

    Attachments Tab :

     

    Input List : attachList

     

    Output attachments: /process_data/attachList[1]

     

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    When approver 3 looks at the attachments any attachments added by Approver 1 are duplicated.

     

    This duplication multiplies (eg approver 2 attachments duplicated and approver 1 attachments triplicated at Approver 4)  as the form is passed form task to task.

     

    Any other settings I need to look at ?  Any other solutions out there ?

     

    thanks

    The configuration looks fine. In ES2 version, it works correctly. I do not know why this problem occurs in ES3.
