Hi Girish,
I just checked that while passing user in below statement
All responses (
Answers (
WorkflowWorkItemActionManager::dispatchWorkItemAction(workItem,'Delegated',curUserId(),
WorkflowWorkItemActionType::Delegate,menuItemActionStr(TSworkflowDelegate),'WorkflowApproval');
In standard , they are passing _toUser value , whereas in my code current user is getting passed, due to which the both toUser and fromUser values are same.
So,I have updated the code to fetch target user .
WorkflowWorkItemActionDialog workflowWorkItemActionDialog;
workflowWorkItemActionDialog = WorkflowWorkItemActionDialog::construct(workItem,
WorkflowWorkItemActionType::Delegate,
new MenuFunction(menuItemActionStr(TSworkflowDelegate),MenuItemType::Action),
'Action');
workflowWorkItemActionDialog.run();
if (workflowWorkItemActionDialog.parmIsClosedOK())
{
WorkflowWorkItemActionManager::dispatchWorkItemAction(workItem,'Delegated',workflowWorkItemActionDialog.parmTargetUser(),
WorkflowWorkItemActionType::Delegate,menuItemActionStr(TSworkflowDelegate),'WorkflowApproval');
}
Its working fine now.
Thanks for your help,
Priya
From the error I think "curUserId" already has a work item assigned for the same workflow step. Check what is the value of _toUser and _fromUser in the arguments of delegate method.
Also open the WorkflowWorkItemTable and see whether the delegated user has already a work Item assigned.

Hi Girish,
Thanks for your help.
I am able to now Approve and Reject multiple timesheets for review.
But I am struggling with Delegation.
I am getting below error on clicking 'Delegate'.
Please find the below code .
internal final class MassTimeDelegate
{
public static void main(Args args)
{
// FormDataSource ds = args.record().dataSource();
FormDataSource ds = FormDataUtil::getFormDataSource( args.record());
Common record;
WorkflowWorkItemTable workitem;
//WorkflowComment comment;
//MenuItemName menuitem;
//str label;
WorkflowWorkItemActionType action;
action = WorkflowWorkItemActionType::Delegate;
for(record = ds.getFirst(true) ? ds.getFirst(true) : ds.cursor(); record; record = ds.getNext())
{
select * from workItem
where workItem.UserId == curUserid() && workItem.RecId == record.RecId;
WorkflowWorkItemActionManager::dispatchWorkItemAction(workItem,'Delegated',curUserId(),
WorkflowWorkItemActionType::Delegate,menuItemActionStr(TSworkflowDelegate),'WorkflowApproval');
}
ds.research();
ds.refresh();
}
On debugging I find error is being thrown after below statement
Not sure what is the issue. When i am going to standard form "Work items assigned to me " I am able to delegate work items.
Please help.
Thanks ,
Priya
Hi Girish,
So should I create new workflow or can I use the standard workflow and the menu items already present.
It's related to the workflow completed action menu item. While creating workflows action menu item will be created. You can find that in workflow types- property name will be CompletedEventHandler.
If its a timesheet workflow then menu item name will be TSWorkflowEventHandler.
Thanks,
Girish S.
Hi Girish,
By approval menu item you mean the menu item button that is created in the form calling the action menu item “MassTimeApproval” ?
On your code - Line number 174, you are getting the work item by calling the getActiveWorkitemForRecord. After that code just call the below piece of code.
You know the Approval menu item for timesheet - Just mention the action menu item name itself - No need to write separate method to get the action approval menu item.
WorkflowWorkItemActionManager::dispatchWorkItemAction(workItem,"Approved",curUserId(),
WorkflowWorkItemActionType::Complete,menuItemActionStr(YourWorkflowApprovalMenuItem2),"WorkflowApproval");
break;
You can comment all the other codes after that.
If not working properly, debug the code and find out on which line it gets failed.
Thanks,
Girish
Hi Girish,
I found the below piece of code. Can you tell me where should I add the above code.
