Hello Community - I am not able to drag & drop the custom workflow step in the workflow model. Not sure what is happening. Can someone advise on this?

Hi @test1234567 ,

 

If you are not able to locate your component in model parsys. Most probably that is because your model is using default design from libs where your component group is not allowed. To allow your component group I will will suggest to follow below steps :

 

1. Copy the node (Overlay) from "/libs/settings/wcm/designs/default" to "/apps/settings/wcm/designs/default". You can change name "default" to anything as per need.

 

2. Go to "/apps/settings/wcm/designs/default/jcr:content/model/flow" and locate the multivalued property "components" and add "group:Test Utility" there. (Here Test Utility is your component group for the workflow custom step model).

 

3. Finally, Go to your workflow model and open properties. There in the advance tab change the design path to "/apps/settings/wcm/designs/default" and save.

 

4. Now try to drag and drop your component it should appear.

 

Hope this helps. And me know if you face any issue.

 

Thanks,

Ravi Joshi

      @test1234567 Okay. I have tested the same in my local aem 6.5 it is loading fine. Can you check whether the below java file throwing any error or not. "com.test.aem.core.workflows.CustomWorkflowStep". Check error.log after drag and drop of the component.

        Hi @test1234567 ,

                                  Your workflow process step is it showing for drag n drop.

        I think you need workflow component in the workflow group.

         

        Kr,

        Sanjay

            Hi @test1234567, did you try to add your custom step to the workflow model by clicking on parsys and using + sign (instead of using d&d)? Are there any errors in the browser console or in the server error.log correlated with d&d operation?

              @lukasz-m - In the parsys, Insert component, the custom workflow step is not appearing in the list. Moreover I dont see any errors in the console/error.log while dragging the custom workflow step.

                @test1234567- thanks, could you please try to change Test Utility into group:Test Utility in your design configuration - inside components property.


                @lukasz-m - I am able to drag and drop the workflow step in the model. The issue is with the group name. I didn't add the prefix "group:" before the group name. Thanks for your inputs. Also one more thing, I have a dialog participant step in the workflow model. Basically I wanted to assign the task to the user who initiated the workflow rather than assign it to any group. Can you tell me is there a way to do that? Screenshot attached.
