I found the problem. It had to do with the imageFiled property "isThumbnail". When it is set to true, the image can be displayed in bigger format when clicked but then the link won't work.

Where are you looking in order to verify this? Are you looking at the "All Process Instances" list for that PM, or something else? a!startProcess() would not necessarily show you anything after the PM is started if the only place you're looking is the interface you're working on.

have you tried by enabling activity chaining in PM?

Visually, this is what I can see that happens but in the background, the process model is not started.

To be clear, are you saying no Process Instances are started after the user clicks the link?

I have been trying several things and that is why I had that value in onSuccess. I just changed to:

value: fv!processInfo.pv.newPicture

Still, I do not see anything happening and the logs do not record anything. The interface is inside a site, as a page. Couldn't it be something I am missing in the process model? in the start node?

This should start the process model pointed to by cons!GLP_UPDATEPROFILEPICTURE, assuming it's saved and published and the user has at least Viewer-level security for it. I would point out, just in case your expectations are wrong, that a!startProcess() is asynchronous - meaning any process instance it launches will be in the background and mainly invisible to the user clicking the link.

Also I'll note that, as far as I can tell, local!imageuser probably isn't doing what you're expecting. The "onSuccess" save is attempting to capture the *entire* fv!processInfo output into it, whether or not you mean to. And setting it as the "value" parameter of the dynamicLink call will essentially do nothing (at least nothing directly useful). But otherwise the configuration looks about right, presuming all the stuff I mentioned in the first paragraph here matches your expectations.
