Either option is fine but adding additional questions for each option
might get to be a pain if the options change.
I'd suggest you create your own form with a dropdown.
You could always use the formstep if you are only using Business
Workplace.
Then you could add a textbox on the form for comments and validate that
both the reason and textbox had been provided.

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

If you are using the UWL you might want to take a look at the
XML config for Updating Container Handler.
Could be a useful solution to your problem.

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...

Do you consider the following as an alternative?
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.
Thanks,

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
complain! s 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

Hi,
I have just finshed doing something very
similar.
The standard functionality provides a pushbutton
to create an attachment
(unfortunate! ly 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,
