return type of action

[orian]

Hi,

Is it possible to configure a return type of an action to be: Sting (not array\String), and then use this action in a presentation of a workflow?

Only if I configured it to be array\String it show me info when I run the workflow...

Hi,

Yes, it is certainly possible the return type of an action to be string.

How exactly are you using it in the presentation?

[orian]

I create an input with type String

In the presentation I define a Predefined List of elements GetAction("actionpath","actionName").call(#parameters)

The action can returns one string...

[iiliev]

Predefined list of elements presentation property implies that the user will get a list with several elements to choose from. Hence the action bound to this property should return an array (in your case, Array/string), not a single element.

[orian]

What should I choose instead for the list in the presentation?

[iiliev]

Not sure what you mean, but the general rule is - for input parameter of type X, you can add Predefined list of elements property and bind it to an action that has return type Array/X.

My action returns a single string.

return type is: String

I use Data binding, and now it works.

Thanks!
