[Erp5-dev] redirection from workflow scripts

[Bartek Gorny]

Hello

Is it possible to send a redirect from interaction workflow script?
The point is that in certain conditions I need to create a new object,
instead of editing the current one, and the best thing would be to
immediately redirect the user to the new one. But it seems that
workflows do not care about return value, so the usual
return context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(target_url)
has no effect. Is there a way to do it from workflow script, or do I
need to overwrite _edit method?

I don't think so.
You can try:
raise 'Redirect', url
but the transaction will be aborted, which is probably not what you want.

Probably it's better to make an explicit action on your portal type that will
create the new object.

I would disagree with the idea of sending a redirect from interaction
workflow. It is not their purpose at all.

Yes.
