Split action form when setting the action to execute in a folder rule #26

The form for the split action is broken when used to define a folder rule.

The Destination folder parameter has not object picker control, but a normal text box and there are 2 check boxes for the Execute in place parameter.

That's correct, and that problem will affect the form display on folder rule create / edit for all of the actions. Unfortunately Alfresco doesn't provide a proper public API (yet) for customizing the forms used when defining a folder rule. I'm going to try to get this extension certified, which means it can only use defined public APIs. If you want to use the PDF toolkit from a folder rule, I suggest you use the script action, and call some server side JS to execute the PDF toolkit action.

That's exactly what I usually do, I use javascript code to call the pdf toolkit actions. I just wanted to let you know about the problem.

Thank you for your answer.
