Manually Exclusive Workflow Routing

I have three dispostions in a activity routing. I need to set it up so that if I pick options A & B I can't select C. Or if I select C I can't select A or B.
Any thoughts,
Brian

What I think could be done, is to
- Create boolean task variables for each of your options.
- In the routing, set the variables based on the user input.
- Under Transitions, verify that the logic you want is selected, either
under the complete transition, or each of the routing transitions
individually.
- If the logic isn't met, throw an exception with detail for the user.

Below is some sample code that I have that throws an exception if the PBO
isn't checked in when completing a task.

Can't do this in the workflow w/o code. Can add code to the Complete transition.

Thanks Stephen, I will certainly begin testing this. My confusion stems around how to programmatically evaluate multiple choices.

You said "In the routing, set the variables based on the user input". How is this done code wise on the routing page if you have multiple sections?

thanks!

Here is an example I have in a task that requires some voting. These are
manually exclusive. To get the value from a non-exclusive routing you
may need to iterate over result.

Does this help explain where to enter the code to grab the information
input and/or selected by the user?
