Form operation calls process, but cannot find an input Value

ddumas

I have the following objects:

Project (Owned by Customer => has a Customer reference attrib, type Customer)

Customer (Owner of Projects. Has a Projects reference attrib, set to multiple allowed, type Project)

Notifications:

TestProjectEmailToCustomer => outgoing email notification

Process:

SendTestEmail => inputs are Customer, Project, and Rule is defined as:
SEND TestProjectEmailToCustomer TO Customer

I defined an operation on the main form of Project, of tye "Start Process" , which calls SendTestEmail process. In the operation definition screen, process input table section, the "Inputs" are correctly (populated by Aware IM) set to Customer and Project. However, the "Value" for the Customer Input is blank. It should be Customer.

So, I must have something defined wrong, otherwise the "Value" would have been populated by Aware IM, when the SendTestEmail process was selected from the list of available processes.

I got this to work.
In my SendTestEmail process, I removed Customer as an input (left Project as my only input), and then made this the first rule:
FIND Customer WHERE Customer =Project.Customer

In the Project Form, I then re-added the operation, and it worked.

I guess I still not getting the point what this post is about? Can anyone tell me some idea about this?

Sure.

I was having problems getting the inputs to recognize values when defining from operations for a Start Process operation. I could not get the Customer attribute to populate in the input of the operation. Customer was defined as an input in the origin process that sends an email to the customer. Once I removed the Customer as an input from the origin process, and instead, did a FIND customer on it within that process, I then did not need it as an input to my form operation that called the process.
