UWL | Display CustomAttribute as dropdown menu

[Huber, Daniel]

Hello all,

OK I figured it out. Just to given some feedback to the mailing list,
here the things that must be defined in order to get menus to work:


==Backend, Workflow Template==
-Task: Data flow-
There must be a data flow definition for the property to be displayed
from the workflow to the task container _and_ back again (needed for
updating the data by the UWL action)


==Portal, UWL configuration==
-ItemType: CustomAttribute-
A custom attribute must be defined within the item type in order to get
the data to be displayed from the task container (although in the XML it
says WEBFLOW_CONTAINER at CustomAttributeSource at id).


-View: Corresponding DisplayAttribute-
A display attribute (connected to the custom attribute by using the same
name) must be present defining the menu with child elements Menu and
MenuItem.


-View at columnOrder-
Finally the new display attribute must be added to the attribute
columnOrder of the surrounding View element.


Regards,
Daniel
