[fmontes]

Parent

#26644

User Story

As a dotCMS user, I want to be able to trigger a workflow action from the editing page, so I can quickly take action on my content.

Tasks

Preview Give feedback

1. Add a split button to the toolbar with the available actions
2. User should be able to trigger the workflow actions
3. Edit page needs to refresh the state.

Proposed Objective

Core Features

Proposed Priority

Priority 3 - Average

External Links... Slack Conversations, Support Tickets, Figma Designs, etc.

• We use primeng's split button small.

Assumptions & Initiation Needs

Get Workflow Action

We have the DotWorkflowsActionsService responsible for retrieving the available action for content.

Endpoints:

• Default Actions: /api/v1/workflow/initialactions/contenttype/${contentTypeId} [GET]
• Actions By Inode: /api/v1/workflow/contentlet/${inode}/actions?renderMode=${'LISTING' || 'EDITING'} [GET]

Note: When you right-click on a Contentlet, LISTING displays the workflow actions. On the edit page, EDITING shows the workflow actions.

Execute/Run a Workflow Action

We have the DotWorkflowActionsFireService responsible of executing a workflow action in the system.

• Fire Action: /api/v1/workflow/actions/${actionId}/fire?inode=${inode}&indexPolicy=WAIT_FOR [PUT]
• BulkFire Action: /api/v1/workflow/contentlet/actions/bulk/fire [PUT]
• Default Action: /api/v1/workflow/actions/default/fire/{defaultAction} [PUT]

For more information about the Workflow action endpoints, please refer to the documentation.

Quality Assurance Notes & Workarounds

N/A

Sub-Tasks & Estimates

• Design split button
• Add a split button to the toolbar

We need some work here when you execute the move action

@bryanboza I was able to move the page. In the video, you are using a Web hosting service, it might be related to its configuration.

In addition, do we have any logs? Maybe vercel shows some logs too.

UPDATED: It looks like we need extra configuration in Vercel to be able to use EMA.
