Hi All,
Is there any api to customize content of Subject of Promotion Request Task?? I was able to change Subject of emaill notyfication. Now I need to do this same i UI.
Thank you in advance for any advice.
@Gucio ,
It is doable to change the OOTB task 'Subject' in the UI. See image below.
As you can see. ONLY tasks from Promotion Request workflows will get the added text.
You never stated EXACTLY how you wanted to change the OOTB display of the task 'Subject' so I just added some static text to show it can be done.

My Promotion Request has 5 additional variables:
objectName (String);
objectNumber (String);
objectInitialState (String);
objectTargetState (String);
objectRevision (String).
Parameters are filed/taken from below code defined in expression:
wt.maturity.PromotionNotice pn = (wt.maturity.PromotionNotice) primaryBusinessObject;
wt.fc.QueryResult queryResult = wt.maturity.MaturityHelper.service.getPromotionSeeds(pn);
wt.lifecycle.State state = null;
while (queryResult.hasMoreElements()) {
java.lang.Object obj = queryResult.nextElement();
if (obj instanceof wt.doc.WTDocument) {
wt.doc.WTDocument object = (wt.doc.WTDocument) obj;
objectName = object.getName();
objectNumber = object.getNumber();
state = object.getLifeCycleState();
objectCurrentState = state.getLocalizedMessage(java.util.Locale.US).toString();
objectTargetState = pn.getMaturityState().getLocalizedMessage(java.util.Locale.US).toString();
objectRevision = wt.vc.VersionControlHelper.getVersionIdentifier(object).getValue();
}
}
To customize email subject of “Review” activity, I edited General***.xml files stored in codebase\templates\workNotification folder. Body of file looks as follow:
<body>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> activityNotificationUrl </SCRIPT>
</font>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill>
<!--
activityAttributes notification=true
-->
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!--
beginSubject
--> </SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!--
getActivityName
--> </SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!--
addText text=": "
--> </SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!--
getPrimaryBusinessObjectName
--> </SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!--
addText text=", "
--> </SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!--
getProcessVariable varName="objectName"
--> </SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!--
addText text=", "
--> </SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!--
getProcessVariable varName="objectNumber"
--> </SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!--
addText text="; rewizja "
--> </SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!--
getProcessVariable varName="objectRevision"
--> </SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!--
addText text=". Zmiana stanu z: "
--> </SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!--
getProcessVariable varName="objectCurrentState"
--> </SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!--
addText text=" na "
--> </SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!--
getProcessVariable varName="objectTargetState"
--> </SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill> <!--
endSubject
--> </SCRIPT>
</body>
As a result, reviewer receive email notification with subject, that is formatted as it was done in General***.xml file. All necessary variables are taken from expression and are used as part of subject.
Subject: (it is written in polish)
But this same user in UI receive task with OOTB subject. I would like to change it. The goal is to have same subject pattern as in email.
Hope not it will be easier to understand my expectations.

Krzysztof,
I have this working to your spec. I think. 😀
I made a workflow that has an expression robot with your code and the String variables you listed. BTW, I had to add an additional variable that was in your code by not listed.
I edited the data utility that generates the Task 'Subject' to find the workflow variables you listed and get their values.
My code appends the variables' <name> = <value> to the OOTB subject.
Seems to be bombproof. 😀
I can't read Polish so I don't know if the image below is exactly what you need but it does show that the workflow variables' values can be added to the Subject.
