Leave Workflow (WS12300111) adding description to workitem

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Mark, 

Don't go that way.  That class doesn't represent the details of the
leave request - it represents the workflow attributes relevant to the
leave request which is a different thing entirely.   So your class
should not be a sub-class of the original as it represents a different
entity.   Also a sub class doesn't help you - you can't specify
delegation in the same way as BOR object types  so you would still need
to change the workflow to use your new subclass. 

Create your own class to read the leave details and return the leave
type. 
Copy the standard workflow.  Add a task to instantiate your class. 

If you REALLY need to link your class with the CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS
class e.g. because you need to put the leave type in the Basic Data of
the workflow itself, then create a new attribute/method of
CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBs that retrieves the details of the leave request.
This may seem like a mod but is actually recommended somewhere in the
help doco - and no please don't ask me to find the reference - have fun
searching for yourself. 

You might want to check out table PTREQ_ATTABSDATA as the source of your
absence details.

Subject: Leave Workflow (WS12300111) adding description to workitem

Hi all, I want to add the leave type description eg Annual Leave to
the work item text for WS12300111 (We're on ECC5).

I thought this would be simple but I'm getting stuck. 

I'm thinking of creating a z class inheriting from
CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS (mod to turn off 'final' flag) and adding a
suitable attribute to hold the leave type description. I'm not seven
ure if this will work.

There must be a better way!

Any ideas?

Mark
