Copy a previous instance of a workflow into a new request.

robinm129

We would like to create a workflow that could allow a requester to enter a previous instance for any of our workflows, and create a new instance of the workflow, allowing the user to then update data in the request.  The "new" instance should use the current date and time for a start time/day and generate a new instance number.  Has anyone ever attempted such a thing?

    I'm not sure can you extract the data from arbitrary process without your own plugin.

    The simplest way is to save the template data into a separate CDT and use it when start a new process of particular type. If you need to keep all inputs the process should save its input into this CDT for future use. But you'll need a separate CDT per process model set of input data.
