[solved] How to save element on start?

0

Hi Paweł,

I have to admit I don't fully understand what you want to do so my comments may be off a bit.

The first thing I would test would be to configure the item list initialization using your dropdown.
https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2024R1/Studio/Process/Attribute/Basic/Itemlist/ILConf/ILConf_Init/

When the value is changed I would execute the initialize item list form rule:
https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2024R1/Studio/UxRules_General/#item-list

This could already work to populate your item list without saving the workflow instance.

If this doesn't work I would modify the workflow a bit and create a two step "wizard". The first step would allow selecting the drop down and lead to the next one using the wizard mode
https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2024R1/Studio/Workflow/Step/Path/Action_StepEditPathsParameters#9-confirmation

This way you could populate the item list on this path and the user could continue filling out the form "without" leaving the form.


If you need to save the element immediately when the form is opened, you could execute a form rule if the instance id is not greater than 0 and execute the save path.

Best regards,
Daniel

Thank you Daniel,

is fixing my issue.

Sorry for chaotic explanation.
so:
1) from drop down list when i pick proper "audit" request then is filing form
2a)then I do a lot initialization of Item list to fill the full form then
2b)I use menu button action connected to first drop down list with triggers automation
to create:
3)list with out repetition of directors from audition deps [deps could be more than 1 for director] >> list will be used for sub flows for term acceptation
3) list for drop down list to pick auditors for proper time / topic in day schedule of audit

why i needed to save ...
because I do SQL request to pick actual directors from AD ... and if form is not saved then I can't pick proper data ....
another SQL request is collecting people from 2 item lists +field to put to item list with available auditors ...

I don't know how to do it in more "efficient" way
