About adding notes to a user decision

I am able to attach to the reject path now, but need some clarifying

I am using regular Business Workplace itself

Should l model a different path for each reason code? then i will have 'n' number of paths from the decision box, based on the 'n' reject reason codes......
then in each path we add attachments for that path

or is it possible to have a list of reason codes as, say a drop down box and capture the different code

i added the 2 step process(decision +  attachment) for the reject path
after rejecting,  the step asks to add attachment - also the title has be entered every time for each attachment
can we have the title to be constant.. so that the person need not enter a title, rather enter the details only

How do i collect the different reason codes in a decision task
For  the task, there is an approve, reject decision
for a reject reason, is it  possible to do reject based on different  reasons...

   In the Reject outcome of the user decision, create a    step with Advance wi! th dialog checked, using a task based on the method    HTMLPROCESS of the object FORM, then doing "web transaction" to let the system    create the page for us based on the task's container elements    (reject_reason_1, reject_reason_2, etc.).
    
   The result is a work item that the approver has to    complete when he chooses to reject.

   G'day Anke,
    
   Since this is a popular topic at the moment can you please provide a bit    more detail.
    
   I've just tried to subtype/delegate DECISION and create a custom method    which to begin with simply calls the standard PROCESS method. When you try to    use a task based on this in a decision step it complains that the task must be    based on DECISION.PROCESS. 
    
   Did you redefine the standard PROCESS method? If so how did you do it    such that it didn't affect any of the normal decision processin! g??
    
   I'm currently on a site expecting heavy use of UWL and therefore would    love to have an inclusive rejection reason without the need to refresh the    inbox. 
    
   Thanks,
   Mark

I      have just finshed doing something very similar.

The standard      functionality provides a pushbutton to create an attachment      
(unfortunately not in UWL). If you can make it a business procedure to      have
the approver use this, then that would be the easiest and most      standard
solution.

In my case, the reason for rejection had to be      entered as a mandatory 
attachment. I m! ade a copy of the decision step      and added the code to
automatically popup the creation of an attachment      if the decision result is
Reject. Code calls method      SOFM.CREATE

You can also consider using 2 steps (decision step +      attachment) and 
continue with immediate dialog. This is a more standard      solution with less
coding. Unfortunately doesn't work in UWL      either.

Also, have a look at the Conditions tab on the task. Here you      can check
conditions before the workitem is set to sompleted. You can use      this to make 
sure that the user has created an attachment before the      workitem is set to
completed. This is the more standard approach. You      will have to give the
user instructions on creating the attachment. (Or      they'll think workflow 
doesn't work.) My client preferred the automatic      popup with prompt to create
attachment.

Hope this gives you some      ideas on how to resolve it.

Cheers,
