Updating an Existing Property on Workflow vote
Hello,
After a user votes on a workflow, I want to update an existing property (_conversation_history). The code below is what I am using.
It appears that the code is generating the correct string in the variable (newconvo)), but it is not updating the property on the item?
Innovator inn = this.getInnovator();
Item controlledItem = this.apply("GetControlledItem");
if (controlledItem.isError()) {
return inn.newError("smc_TechInquiry_Notifications: Retrive Workflow: Unexpected error: " + controlledItem.getErrorString());
}
// get the message from requestor and reply to requestor
string messagefrom = controlledItem.getProperty("_message_from_requestor", "");
string replyTo = controlledItem.getProperty("_reply_to_requestor", "");
string history = controlledItem.getProperty("_conversation_history","");
string newconvo = history + " " + messagefrom + " " + replyTo;
string message = controlledItem.getPropertyCondition("_conversation_history");
this.setProperty("_conversation_history",newconvo);
return this;
Thank you for your help!
I don´t see any "apply" in your code. You set the Property, but only to the temporary context. You don´t seem to use edit/apply to actually save your new value.
And I see a second problem. As far as I understand you want to update your history value:
You use this line to get the value:
string history = controlledItem.getProperty("_conversation_history","");
But that line to update the value:
this.setProperty("_conversation_history",newconvo);
In your context "this" represents the "Activity" item while controlledItem represent your change process.
I am not sure if controlledItem.setProperty in combination with edit/apply would work, cause the controlled item is something generated by the helper function. But you can give it a try.If it doesn´t work, get the id of the controlledItem and do a direct edit of the Change process.
