Alfresco: Write workflow script to copy document in same folder and continue workflow with new document

For one of my workflows, I want to be able to select a document in my start task. Then, I would like to execute a script to make a copy of this document in the same folder, and continue the workflow with the new document (if this is possible). I don't have much java experience but I'm trying to achieve something along the lines of:

<script>
      var path = bpm_package.children[0].displayPath;
      var newdoc = bpm_package.children[0].copy(path);
      newdoc.save();
      bpm_package = newdoc;
</script>

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Solution

  • Basically the argument in copy function is the object of parent node and not a path to parent node.

    So the below code will do the work.

    bpm_package.children[0].copy(bpm_package.children[0].parent);

    You do not need to call save or any other function after that.Basically this are javascript api of alfresco. You can take a look on below link for more details.
