RE: Extend canSubmitToWorkflow method which does not exist in table

As we all knows that in D365 there is limitation to create workflow on existing table because in Extension we couldn't write canSubmitWorkflow method, You have to over-layer the table and than override the canSubmitWorkflow Method....

But there is an alternate way I found to avoid over layering on systems table.

RE: Extend canSubmitToWorkflow method which does not exist in table

Hi all guys,

I extends form method

[FormDataSourceEventHandler(formDataSourceStr(MyForm, ProjInvoiceTable), FormDataSourceEventType::Initialized)]

public static void ProjInvoiceTable_OnInitialized(FormDataSource sender, FormDataSourceEventArgs e)

{

sender.formRun().design().workflowEnabled(true);

sender.formRun().design().workflowDatasource(formDataSourceStr(MyForm, ProjInvoiceTable));

sender.formRun().design().workflowType("workFlowType");

}

I open form after building, an error message always pop up saying 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' when I set property workflowEnabled to true. same error displayed if I override the form to modify this property, I really don't know how to give value to this property for now, who have this solution to share with me? my verison is PU12.

sarah guan,

You can not achieve this without overlayering until now. Maybe MS provides some way in future releases.

Hi Sarah,

I want to mention one thing here,

We can use COC only for the table methods which are already overridden. If the method, CanSubmitToWorkflow is not overridden, we have to customize the table and proceed with over-layering this method.

Thanks,

Error message: The next method cannot be invoked in method 'canSubmitToWorkflow' because it's not a chain of Command method.

Hi Sarah,

This can be achieved through COC,

I hope following code would help you,

[ExtensionOf(tableStr(<YourTableName>))]

final class <YourTableName>_Extension

{

public boolean canSubmitToWorkflow()

{

boolean ret;

ret = next canSubmitToWorkflow();

if(this.recID && (this.WorkflowState == WorkflowState::notSubmitted))

{

ret = true;

}

return ret;

}

}

Thanks,
