Assign Content to workflow if it is checked in and does not have a workflow step #16809

wezell · 2019-07-02T21:42:51Z

It is possible in dotCMS to checkin a piece of content without a workflow step. What we need to do in dotCMS when a content object is being checked in is create a Listener on content checkin that will try to automatically assign content to a workflow if it is unassigned.

We will provide a default implementation of this Listener that calls a default Delegate, e.g. AutoAssignWorkflowDelegate

The AutoAssignWorkflowDelegate implementation will work like this:

If the content is already in a workflow step, e.g. findCurrentStep(contentlet).isPresent(), do nothing.
if the content does not belong to a workflow, get the list of possible workflow schemes it can belong to, e.g. the workflow schemes returned by worflowAPI.findAvailableDefaultActionsByContentType(content.getContentType(), content.getModUser)
If the System Workflow scheme is in that list, add the content to the first step of the default workflow, otherwise, add the content to the first step of the first workflow scheme returned by the list.
If no schemes are available to the mod user, add the content to the first step of the System Workflow.

Additionally, we need to allow customers to

Disable the AutoAssignWorkflowDelegate
or
write custom implementation that can override the the AutoAssignWorkflowDelegate implementation and use another method to auto-assign workflow steps.

If you checkin a contentlet of a type that does not have a workflow - instead of setting to the system, we should leave it unassigned.

I created a custom CT based on FileAsset
Uploaded a file and created and created a piece of content of the specific CT
Then created two custom workflows each one had 2 steps and 2 actions.
Then I removed System WF and assigned the new Custom WF to the file asset type.
At this point, the new piece of content that I created has assigned 2 workflows but isn't on any steps.
I fired the checking by moving the file asset into another folder. The file asset gets auto-assigned as expected.

Fixed tested with the provided steps and now it works as expected
