I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.2 and Datecode with CPS 11.2.0.0

We want to create the new custom node on the Workflow Template Edit dialog. It could be just like the "Execute Expression" node.
How to create and Display that custom node on UI?

    Can you describe your requirement? What kind of node would you want to create that is not satisfied by the existing types? This would be a very difficult thing to do.

    We want to create the node the same as the "Execute Expression" node. 

     

    We have some Java expression code that can be used every time in the "Execute Expression" node while creating workflow templates. So we think it is better to have a custom node that includes the pre-existing Java code.

    Hi @prescient_rohit 

     

    So use the existing type Execute expression node. Put there your code and that's all. 

    You don't need any special new type node. Just add the existing type as a new one.

    If it’s “just like the Execution Expression node” why do you need a new node? 🤷‍♂️
