[Erp5-dev] Interaction workflows - for new and copied objects

[Łukasz K. Nowak]

Hello,

I'm interested in using interaction workflows for new and copied
objects. I know, that I could use Init Script for portal type or create
manage_afterCopy in document, but it is unacceptable:
- manage_afterCopy have to be done in Document class and I will never
modify low level documents - I had to revert all changes, due to drastic
document incompatibilities while upgrading
- it is not possible to export only Init Script definition to BT, and
exporting full portal type would be maintenance horror. Besides that,
init script is often defined in BT.

I tried to use manage_after{Add,Copy} in Trigger Method Id(s) in
interaction workflow, but it wasn't working.

Is it possible to achieve such mechanism using interaction workflow?

Thanks in advance,
Luke

You can add an [PortalType|Document|Metatype]_afterClone script.
This script will be called on pasted objects.

This is a limitation of the business template implementation currently.
But this is how I use it for now personnaly.

Did you configure the interaction workflow on the container level?
I think manage_after{Add,Copy} is called on container, isn't it ?
After that, I don't know if it will not have any side effect.

Ouch, great. I wasn't able to find it in documentation. Where this could
be on wiki?

Well. It is not working in my case. I wanted to invoke
interaction_workflow to be done after clone, so I've made it with
context.edit(), but it raises unauthorized exception - workflow script
is not able to edit object. Well, I'll have to create same functionality
outside of interaction_workflow script, it is acceptable.

I was trying to catch Sale Order creation. So I've attached interaction
workflow to Sale Order portal type and Sale Order Module portal type to
functions [_]manage_after{Add,Clone} but none of this combination works.
Container for Sale Order is Sale Order Module, yes? That's how I do
understand it.
