Display Form; ways to 'submit' besides buttons?

    Update: GW5 Developers can use the Set Property activity to set the result property on a display form, which submits the form.

     

    Update: Some values do not work as results. String values work though, such as Submit or Cancel.

    Hi Ryan,

     

    I'm not aware of any way to submit a form outside of the buttons, but an alternative you might look into is nesting the second Display Form inside a change event.

     

    So, it would look something like:

    Display Form > Dropdown > Change Event subworkflow with Display Form #2.

     

    Then you could put the remaining workflow activities inside a change or submit event subworkflow in the second form (instead of putting them in the starting workflow area).

    That's kind of what i was thinking ...

     

    except can you cascade display form #2's submit to #1, so that you could run common logging/cleanup, or would you have to exit the workflow from #2 when done...

    Hi Ryan,

     

    In a case like that, using a button to submit form #2 would run the rest of the change event subworkflow. Once that's complete you'll be sent back to form #1.

     

    If you need to do cleanup and avoid the backwards navigation, you could add the cleanup activities to the subworkflow, and make the last activity in the subworkflow an Exit. That way the workflow stops without sending the user back to form #1.

    Thanks? Peter

    Used your suggestion to submit a form from a geometry picker change event without the form reopening and having to click the submit button.
