<div>Mike,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I tried the same a couple of years ago on a 6.20 system as well and my experience was the same. The agent type in <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">WFSYST-AGENT</SPAN></SPAN> <SPAN contentEditable=false style="DISPLAY: inline-block"></SPAN>can only be the standard <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">HR</SPAN></SPAN> <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">org</SPAN></SPAN> objects like Job, Position, <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">Org</SPAN></SPAN> Unit etc. Definitely Role and Rule do not work that way.</div>

<div style="CLEAR: both">Best Regards,<br>
<SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">Ramki</SPAN></SPAN> <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">Maley</SPAN></SPAN>.</div>

<div class=AOLPlainTextBody id=AOLMsgPart_0_44b05a31-101e-4e26-a286-fd95e82d864e><PRE><TT><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">G'Day</SPAN></SPAN>,
I just noticed that one cannot use a role in an agent expression. Can
anyone confirm whether this is supposed to be so or if it's a bug? The
<SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">docs</SPAN></SPAN> are quiet on the matter.
e.g. in the <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">WF</SPAN></SPAN> builder I can assign agent type role and assign <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">ZMYROLE</SPAN></SPAN>.
Recipients are all users with role <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">ZMYROLE</SPAN></SPAN>, great.
If I create a container element Agent type <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">WFSYST-AGENT</SPAN></SPAN> and assign
<SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">AGZMYROLE</SPAN></SPAN>, the WI ends up with nobody on our 6.20 system.
Of course one can work around this by an extra step/attribute, but just
wondering whether why I should have to.
Cheers,
Mike
