task not appearing when workflow is started from automation chain
I created a workflow in Studio that works well when triggered with the standard start button. I tried to trigger it with an event (document creation) binded to an automation chain with Workflow Context -> Start Workflow. The workflow is started but there is no task to assignee. I tried with Users and Groups -> Login As surrounding Start Workflow to see if there is any difference: still no task created.
What's wrong?
Thanks.
Hi,
Like beatrizspereza, I'm calling the start workflow from another workflow. 2nd workflow's running but with the system user. I've tried things like “Set Workflow Variable” with 'assignees' variable and @{CurrentUser} as value or “Users and Groups -> Login As”, but without success.
How and when (before, after start?) assign the workflow task?
I'm working with the 5.6.0-HF-06 version.
Thanks
Yes, if the "start" is not set to true, the workflow instance is created but not started ( set to running). You should see this parameter when using the operation from Nuxeo Studio with both target platforms 5.6 and 5.7. Did you override it from a registry? ( check the Automation Operations registry in Settings & Versioning)
{"id":"Context.StartWorkflow","label":"Start workflow","category":"Workflow Context","requires":"Workflow","description":"Starts the workflow with the given model id on the input documents. Returns back the input documents. The created workflow instance id is available under the \"WorkflowId\" context variable","url":"Context.StartWorkflow","signature":["document","document","documents","documents"],"params":[{"name":"id","type":"string","required":true,"widget":null,"order":0,"values":[]},{"name":"start","type":"boolean","required":false,"widget":null,"order":0,"values":[]}]
}] }
Just replace the double quote in the description by single quote around WorkflowId in the description part …The created workflow instance id is available under the 'WorkflowId' context variable…
Hello,
The browser shouldn't make a difference.
I just tested on the last HF ( 5.6.0-HF-06) and I manged to start the Serial Default workflow from a listener and have the first task correctly assigned. Can you re-test on this HF and if the bug is still present give us a scenario to reproduce it? Thx,

I've seen similar things happen on this machine. I've found that sometimes going back to the folders, refreshing them, and reloading the document works.
Other times, going to the Home screen works. The newly assigned task will appear under the “My Tasks” widget.
And, other times, I've had to log out and log back in.
