Workflow: Create PopupInput with Java?

Question

Hi community.

I would like to know how I can dynamically create a PopupInput with java code. Example use case: At first I fill a variable (list) with values (e.g. from a db query). Let’s assume the value of this variable is: Value1, Value2, Value3. Now I need to ask the for information for each single value with a PopupInput like in the screenshot below.

I would guess that I need to start like this:

import commvault.cte.workflow.dom.WorkflowElement;

WorkflowElement PopupInput = WorkflowElement.parse(...

But honestly I have no idea how to continue from here on.

Best regards

Pasqual

Hi @Pasqual Döhring,Can you try something like this?import commvault.msgs.App.XMLSchema;import commvault.msgs.App.InputControlType;variableInputs = xpath:{/workflow/variables/popupInputs};int serial = 1;for(int i=0; i < variableInputs.size(); i++){    XMLSchema input = new XMLSchema();    displayName = variableInputs.get(i);    name = "INPUT" + Integer.toString(serial);    input.setInputName(name);    input.setHidden(false);    input.setControlType(InputControlType.TEXTBOX);    input.setDisplayName(displayName);    input.setRequired(true);    activity.getForm().getEntries().add(input);        serial++;  }Thanks,Yeshwanth

HiYeshwanth,thank you for the code. In general this looks promising. Unfortunately it fails at the point when it tries to add the “input” to the PopupInput because we never created that. So I still need a possibility to create the PopupInput atall. And of course I need to show it and need a way to catch the results.I get this error message when executing this code “activity.getForm().getEntries().add(input);”:Thank you.Pasqual
