This MF activity doesn't exist in mx9.6.6 #4254

Closed x4g closed 2 years ago

x4g commented 2 years ago

Cannot find the "Retrieve workflow context" microflow activity in mx 9.6.6 as described in https://docs.mendix.com/refguide/retrieve-workflow-context

Please update the documentation or give more precise instruction about how to use it.

Please also explain how a WorkflowContext object is defined and used. ex. How to determine the entity type a WorkflowContext refers to?

Hi @x4g , Thank you for your feedback. Our documentation is updated according to the latest version, which is 9.11.1 now. The Retrieve workflow context activity is not available in 9.6.6, it was released in 9.10.0. The Retrieve workflow context action will determine the return type based on the selected workflow (it'll be the configured context entity of that workflow). At Runtime it will break if the passed workflow object is not of the right type. I will clarify information in the document ASAP.

Best regards, Maria

Hi @x4g I've added a bit more information on the Retrieve workflow context document in this PR. I hope, it makes the explanation on the Workflow Context more clear.

Best regards, Maria
