Hi Community,

I have a requirement where I need to approve multiple lines in LedgerPeriodCloseProjectTask table at once using the Approval button in Workflow.
I also wrote a code for submitting a multiple records to workflow which is working fine!
The issue is in Approval. Its not Approving even after the Workflowstatus of the Line changes to approve! When I check the View history button in workflow its shows as it is still pending!

Sharing my code snippet:

class ABCD_CloseTaskWorkflowTypeApprovalManager
{
    public static void main(Args args)
    {
        //  TODO:  Write code to execute once a work item is submitted.
        FormDataSource                  periodClosetask_ds;
        LedgerPeriodCloseProjectTask    customWorkflowTable;
        WorkflowWorkItemTable           workflowWorkItemTable;
        WorkflowComment                 note = "";
        WorkflowSubmitDialog            workflowSubmitDialog;
        WorkflowCorrelationId           workflowCorrelationId;

        //multiSelectHelper       =       MultiSelectionHelper::construct();
        periodClosetask_ds      =       FormDataUtil::getFormDataSource(args.record());

        WorkflowTypeName        workflowTypeName = workFlowTypeStr("ABCD_CLoseTaskWorkflowType");

        //Opens the submit to workflow dialog.
        if (periodClosetask_ds.anyMarked())
        {
            customWorkflowTable = args.record();
            // Get comments from the submit to workflow dialog.
            note = "Note check !";

            for(customWorkflowTable = periodClosetask_ds.getFirst(true)? periodClosetask_ds.getFirst(true) : periodClosetask_ds.cursor();customWorkflowTable;customWorkflowTable = periodClosetask_ds.getNext())
            {
                try
                {
                    if (customWorkflowTable.ABCD_WorkFlowStatus == ABCD_CloseTaskWorkFlowStatus::Submitted)
                    {
                        select firstonly workflowWorkItemTable
                            where workflowWorkItemTable.Type == WorkflowWorkItemType::WorkItem
                            && workflowWorkItemTable.Status == WorkflowWorkItemStatus::Pending // this should be Pending
                            && WorkflowWorkItemTable.RefTableId == tableNum(LedgerPeriodCloseProjectTask)
                            && WorkflowWorkItemTable.RefRecId  == customWorkflowTable.RecId;

                        WorkflowWorkItemActionManager::dispatchWorkItemAction(workflowWorkItemTable,note,curUserId(),WorkflowWorkItemActionType::Complete,menuItemActionStr(ABCD_CloseTaskWorkflowApprovalApprove),"WorkflowApproval");
                    }
                }
                catch (Exception::Error)
                {
                    error("Error on workflow Approval !");

                }
            }
        }

        periodClosetask_ds.reread();
        periodClosetask_ds.research(true);
        periodClosetask_ds.refresh();
    }

}

Please help me out as this is urgent!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Apratim,

Did you use the debugger to find out what is being executed? What is the "Line" where the workflow status is changing? Is it the workflow work item or the LedgerPeriodCloseProjectTask?

Note that in case approval is recorded by a user manually, the workflow processing batch job will pick up the change and process the instance using the next step in the workflow state engine.

Probably after your code was executed, the batch job should do its work to complete it correctly.

A small additional note about your urgency. This is a forum monitored by volunteers in their spare time. It is a hobby for me to help people with questions and issues. This is not a support channel with a specific SLA.

Hi Andre,

Thankyou so much for the reply!

I checked the code after debugging! It was having the record for the selected lines for approval as an event in EVENTINBOXDATA table.
This was due to my mistake as I was changing the Approval status manually from approved to Draft using SSMS for testing purpose!
As per the code its working fine!

If possible can you help me in bringing the Workflow comment dialog box too; So that the user can put their custom comment once and that comment should be passed in the approval of all selected tasks ! Since for now as you can see I'm passing a hardcode comment while Approving the workflow for all the selected tasks for approval!

Thanks once again!!

Hi Apratim,

You can try to build the dialog with this example.

Dialog dialog; DialogField field; ; dialog = new Dialog("Workflow comment"); dialog.addText("PLease provide a comment for the workflow approval"); field = dialog.addField(typeid(Notes)); dialog.run(); if (dialog.closedOk()) { note = field.value(); }

It looks like you're making good progress with your code! Double-check the workflow status logic and ensure the work item selection correctly identifies pending items. Consider adding logging to pinpoint any issues during the approval process. Debugging may reveal where things are going wrong. Good luck! While looking for information on tech companies for a class assignment, I stumbled upon a detailed overview of Microsoft Corporation at https://www.topessaywriting.org/samples/microsoft-corporation here. I knew it was big, but I didn’t realize just how much influence it has on the global tech industry. From its early days to the current innovations in cloud computing, the company’s growth is really impressive. This could be an interesting case study for my next business course project.
