SharePoint Designer workflow task - problem with multiple users selector in InfoPath form

We have created a custom workflow using SharePoint Designer. We are using one action “Collect Data from a User”. As you know, this action sends an email to a user with a link to a task form where user is supposed to accept or reject a request. We are encountering following issues with this form:

1. Form is not a workflow form, it is a task item of the task list that the “Collect Data from a User” action of the workflow creates.
2. Form opens as an item of the workflow task list in View mode (DispForm.ASPX) instead of Edit mode (EditForm. ASPX)
3. When user clicks on “Edit Item” button, it displays all the fields of the task as editable – we want only the Approve/Reject option buttons and the comments TextBox (that we created during the workflow design) to be displayed as editable

Can someone please explain what is going on and how can we resolve the above issues?
Thanks……….

Hello,

 

I need to assign workflow task to multiple users or groups based on the user department in the active directory. I am trying to use the AssignedTo property of the SPWorkflowTaskProperty to achieve this but don't know how. I tried to put multiple user ids in the sting separated by ";", but this is not working.

 

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I have a simple Vs2010 Sequential workflow. I have followed this guide: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms580283.aspx and various others to get it working. So the connection from my workflow to the infopath form is OK and I can get data in and out via the Itemmetadata.xml file. However, one thing I can't work out how to do: add fields from the task item to the infopath form, e.g., the Status field.

I have tried adding a data connection to a SharePoint Library or List, but this creates repeating fields, i.e., for every item in the list - I want to just display the data for one task.

I figure I know the GUID of the task item so i could query the list from VS and pass it through to the form via ItemMetadata... but I assumed there would be an easier way to do this. The form should know what task item opened it... (for instance, if I go to the list, and click "Customise form in infopath" then the form it creates is perfect - except that it will only publish it back to the list it came from - I can't save it as a generic reusable template.

Sorry if I'm asking anything daft, but any thoughts or good tutorials on this?

Thanks.

I have a Workflow that is using an InfoPath task form.  In the "FormEvents_Loading" method event handler I have some code that needs to run each time the form is opened.   I recycle the App Pool and open the form the code runs perfectly, but if I close and try to re-open the form the code is not run at all.  I can then recycle the App Pool again and on the next load the code executes just fine.   The code that is supposed to be run is a very simple statement to set a field value, so I don't think it is interfering.

Does anyone know what this might be?

Thanks,

1.     Review 7777.xml.

2.     Perform the specific activities required for this task.

Use the Edit this task button to mark the task as completed. (If you cannot update this task, you might not have access to it. Click here to request access.

I am using sharepoint designer for designing workflow. I have 4 steps. on each step a user write some comments for the next user. now I want to show all those comments on task form for the current user to whom the task has been assigned.

I have an approval workflow that creates a task for a group to approve or reject an InfoPath form. But if a member of the group opens the form and updates the task from there, it doesn't complete the workflow. It only completes the workflow if they go to the actual task and update it from there. Does anyone know how to fix that?

Hi,   In my proof of concept Moss 2007 WF, I tested an Infopath modification form successfully.  Then the contact selector ActiveX control was added but it failed to open using the modification link of the workflow page.  In a different form for the WF initiation, I similarly created two CS controls and it worked there.  A snippet of the MOSS error is below   Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.Controls.ContactPicker.RenderClientViewDataLeafContent(XPathNavigator context, IRenderContext renderContext, ControlViewData controlViewData, ScriptWriter writer)    at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.Controls.LeafControl.RenderClientViewDataContent(XPathNavigator context, IRenderContext renderContext, ScriptWriter writer)    at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.Controls.BaseControl.RenderClientViewData(XPathNavigator context, IRenderContext renderContext, ScriptWriter writer)    at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.Controls.ContainerControl.RenderClientViewDataContent(XPathNavigator context, IRenderContext renderContext, ScriptWriter writer)    at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.Controls.BaseControl.RenderClientViewData(XPathNavigator context, IRenderContext renderContext, ScriptWriter writer)    at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.Controls.CollectionControl.RenderClientViewDataContent(XPathNavigator context, IRenderContext rend

Hi all, I have sharepoint 2010 and infopath 2010. I would like to create a workflow which sends a task to a user every week. The task should be done in infopath 2010. How can i do that ?   Thanks

I have been working this issue for 2 days now.  This has happened to me in the past and I was able to work through it.  It doesn't appear that this time I am going to be so lucky. Issue Description: When publishing an InfoPath form a new column is created that has the same name as the correct one, but a new GUID is created. Troubleshooting steps: I have read this article: http://www.delphi-ts.com/blogs/lozzi/post/2009/06/03/Duplicate-site-columns-in-MOSS-from-InfoPath-Forms.aspx   This was the solution the last time I had this problem.  However, no matter what I do, it is not working now.  I have a column named User Name which is the username of the person that submitted the InfoPath form for use with my Visual Studio workflow.  When the workflow kicks off, it reads this column and attempts to get the value.  The value is blank because a new column with the name User Name now exists and that is where the value is stored.  I attempted to fix it by remapping the GUIDs as described in the article.  I also reverted the code to a previous version from TFS.  None of these worked.   I now have 3 columns called User Name and I can remap the GUID to the second column and third column.  But when I try to map it to the first column (the one I need) it doesn't work. The first column that is circled is the correct column.
