how to loop a!completeTask function and save the result

RE: how to loop a!completeTask function and save the result

For using complete task smart service we should pass particular process taskId's and task inputs in Anytype to complete the task(you mentioned you are getting supplier id,if it is from your application it won't work. to complete task you must and should pass tp!id of particular task to the complete task smart service)

in your case if you want to complete multiple tasks on click of a button

In saveInto use a!startProcess and create process as shown in above comments and you can pass multiple taskid's to the smart service

I hope this helps your case

Hi Rajesh,

We had the same requirement I had done the following code for closing open tasks by using Complete task smart service. In primary buttons, I had set like below..i have to close tasks by selecting open tasks after selecting i will get ri!processID number in rule input but instead of processes id(TaskID) number i am getting other numbers like supplier ID...

Please help me with needfull changes...

a!buttonLayout(
primaryButtons: a!buttonWidget(
label: "Close Task",
submit: true(),
confirmMessage: "Are you sure you want to close Task?",
skipValidation: true,
style: "PRIMARY",

a!save(
ri!processId ,
local!selectionIndex
)
},

Hi Raj,

You can use complete task smart service in process model passing task id and inputs of the tasks to the smart service as follows

TaskId:12,

TaskInputs:

{

id:12,

name:raj,

button:true()

}

Hello Kevin.I have a similar situation where i have task Ids now in the process but not sure how to call a!complete task in the process model.Please let me know how to may tasks complete using process model and complete task smart service.Any screenshot would be appreciated.

Only one smart service can be executed inside the saveInto of a component on an interface, per our documentation: docs.appian.com/.../executing_smart_services.html

Since a!completeTask only takes a single taskId you won't be able to achieve what you are looking to do this way. Instead, you could start a process when the button is clicked that takes all the taskIds as a parameter and then loops through the taskIds with the Complete Task smart service inside that process.

Thanks for the input,i have tried it earlier but an getting the following error

Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error: An error occurred while executing a save: java.lang.IllegalStateException: A Value should not be the result of activation

Can any one help me how to handle it?

Thanks in advance

You can use foreach to save something in loop
a!buttonWidget(
label: "complete task",
saveInto: {
/* how to write the below function in loop and how to save it using a!save function*/
a!save(local!task,a!forEach(items:ri!selectedTaskIDs,expression:a!completeTask(
taskId: tointeger(fv!item ),
taskInputs: { input: ri!taskInput },
onSuccess: a!save(ri!message, "Updated Successfully"),
onError: a!save(ri!message, "Already Updated")
)
)
)
},
style: "PRIMARY"
)

Can you elaborate more on the exact problem you're facing when you're trying the loop? (Maybe with code snippets?) I'm guessing your problem is that you're not associating the task ids and task inputs properly in that one task id needs to correspond to multiple task inputs, so you may need an array of arrays for your task input to loop properly. A sample snippet would help us be able to provide a more detailed solution.
