Easy way to save multiple documents to Alfresco

Q&A

Is there an easy way to save multiple documents from Bonita to Alfresco dynamically?
I have found some instructions in the following link, but it didn’t work for me.
http://community.bonitasoft.com/questions-and-answers/multiple-documents-upload-single-form

I basically have a form with multiple documents input, but not all documents are mandatory. I need a solution to save 1, 5 or 10 documents without having to make more than one Alfresco connector and without being obliged to put all the documents. I am new to Bonita and I would appretiate any help I can get.
Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks in advance.

I have a list of documents and then use a MultiInstantiation step to call a service task to upload the documents.

Easy as pie…

PPS: I see you used my previous instructions…that was for 6, you need to modify for 7…

Hi,

May I know, how you are trying to upload the document(one or more), is it using the document variable?..

Yes, I am using the document variable as single and without any initial content. Output operation is document reference of type java.lang.String.

Hi Sean,

I am using Bonita 7, but for creating forms I am using Bonita 6.x App. Does that make any difference for your old instructions? Seems to me that they should work in that case. I made an AddAFile button and I added the JavaScript code in the HTML widget initial value, but nothing happens when AddAFile button is clicked. It doesn’t start the script for some reason.

Best regards,
Jovana
