Can we redirect a task from Group to User

Hello Guys, I have a typical situaion where a task will be intially assigned to a AD Group. (one Worklistitem will be created in the name of this group as destination)Now i want to specifically assign this task to an individual user . I tried redirecting the task, but it didn't work. Instead it is creating a new worklistitem with the redirected user as destination and old one with group name is also still available. Could any one guide me with your ideas for dealing this situation. Thanks,VIjay.

Form has multi-line text fields, but new lines are not seen when the text is inserted into an email

My form has several multi-line text fields. My client wants to see the inputted text appear on a confirmation email (generated during an Email Event in the workflow) and wants to see all the "new lines" that the user has inputted. The problem is that when the user types the following into the text field: Note 1Note 2Note 3 The email shows this text as: Note 1 Note 2 Note 3 I understand that the email renders HTML but I don't know how I can programatically insert a <br/> tag after each new line. I currently have the form setup to send the multi-line text field data into a Data Field in the workflow. I then put the Data Field into the body of the email. But with this, the reproduction of new lines has not been successful. Any ideas? Thank you very much.

"Smart Object Unknown could not be found" after editing Smart Object

Hello! I had some fields in a SO that I was no longer using so I deleted them. Now, every time I try to run a form that uses this SO, I get the error "Smart Object Unknown could not be found." I can't edit any views or anything either, I check out and then double click to edit and just get a blank area of the screen where the design canvas of the view should be. I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when trying to edit any of the forms. Therefore, I can't even recreate the SO.

Howto reuse code or logic on a smartform.

I am working on some K2 solutions that rely heavily on SmartForms. When building these forms, I usually find that I need to reuse some parts such as logic. What I do now is that I create a button, and place all of that logic 'behind' that button. Next I hide that button. On the locations that I want to implement that logic, I connect to that hidden button. Basically, what I need is what is referred to as a function in other languages. What would be the best way to do this in SmartForms.

Reverse deployment (from production to development)

Hi, Due to the misconception during initial use of K2 designer, our Production and Development is different being the production having the latest and workable version. Only different on the designer part, the workflow are the same.  Currently the intention is to made changes to the existing workflow. Minor changes, add a smart object event in 1 of the activities. Because the Prod & Dev are different, I couldn't do this. If I do packaging from Dev(working on workflow  K2 studio) and deploying it to Prod will revert the current working version to old version. I'm considering to package everything from the Prod and deploy it to Dev. But I'm not certain of what to expect during and after the process, maybe you can give us a heads up. Also, would it be an issue if I update the Prod workflow directly without going through packaging and deployment? Is it possible/safe to do so?  Thanks

How to combine notification email for multiple destination users into one

Hi all, I have scenario in my workflow, when an activity is performed, another activity will be created. The new activity could be performed once by one of the users who are set in the destination users.  Since anyone of destination users can perform and complete the task,  it is expected that all the users are included in the To list of the same email. if anyone performs the acitivity, all other users are also notified in the same email. Now the problem is, I chose  Plan Just Once, one activity is created, all the destination users receive an email respectively with the same serial number. Is there possible that all the destination users receive only one email jointly, with all their names in the To list? Thanks and regards,SH

What does ProcessInstance Priority field do when starting through K2 webservice?

When starting a new process instance through K2 webservice you can optionally include info about Priority with value of 0-3 which is described here in K2 online help. But "help" just states that "the priority to assign to the process instance" and not one word about if it actually does anything else. I know that the priority field of Activities are only to give a user some visual indication about priority in there task list.  But what is priority of the process itself used for?

SMTP Mail not being sent on v4.7 server using "Send an Email" action

Anyone know how to fix this... On my new Prod server (4.7), i'm using SMTP mail on some forms to send an EMAIL ACTION from the Smartform Rules.Connection Strings etc are all setup fine and copied exactly like the one of my old Prod Server (4.6.11) If I enter the ServiceAccount in the From field, the email will get sent fine to recipient, but if i enter a different FROM address then it just sits in the ServiceAccounts DRAFTS folder and does not get sent. On my v4.6.11 server it has always worked fine, i am able to enter any FROM email address and it sends the email. Been stuck on this for a week and checked firewall, AD account settings, exchange settings, you name it i've tried it.... Anyone got any ideas?

Does anyone know how to get the current Form name from within Custom Control code?

I'm looking for a way to get the current form (or view) Id (guid) or Name from within SmartForms custom control code.I don't want to pass this in as a property or get it from an ajax callback, but during the normal control rending.Additionally, I'm looking for an alternative to parsing the pages request URL (which is do-able, but kinda barfy). This control needs this context so it can lookup or display information about this form or view. Any ideas?

Get list items into a single field

Hi, Im hitting a brick wall at the moment, what i need to do is get multiple list items (user's email addresses). On my SmartForm Im using execute smart object method -> get list items, but it only returns 1 (first) value. Is there a way to collate all these into 1 field or send email for each?I prefer to do it all in a smart form and dont get  workflow involved. I was able to do it in InfoPath (web browser and no code), surely SmartForm can do it. Thanks in advance for any help.
