Request Responsibilities functionality - request log

Hi , I have a query on the Request Responsibilities feature introduced by Collibra. Ref - https://productresources.collibra.com/docs/collibra/latest/Content/Responsibilities/ta_request-responsibilities.htm This is an inbuilt workflow provided in the latest version of Collibra SaaS latest UI. Requesting a responsibility creates a task [only!!!] for the configured Approver/Backup Approver. However there is no log for all such requests raised. Where can I view all such requests raised by the users? This would be beneficial for access control audits etc. Suggestions - This workflow can be exposed in the workflow section so that the users can configure accordingly to create an asset against every request i.e an Issue / Data Usage asset Collibra can internally incorporate a bespoke domain and log the requests there for auditing purposes. This functionally is extremely beneficial for access/usage/license control. Thanks and Regards Saptarshi Paul

First form of a workflow use of initiator
Hi guys, I am starting a workflow with a form with a selection of users. I would like the default value to be the initiator of the workflow. Do you have any idea on how to do that ? Thanks ! F.

Maximum size of execution variables
Hi, I am setting up variables for forms using execution.setVariable("..."). I believe some kind of HashMap is being used behind the scenes for this structure. When setting up a large amount of variables, at some point, the first variables set up are deleted (it seems). It seems like the list of variable has a maximum allowed size. Is this accurate? How to solve this problem? I have too many variables to set. Thank you

Workflow Email Templates
Hello Community, The process of creating a workflow email template and adding it to a backup doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. I know how to do it but is this tribal knowledge? My client is asking for docs on how. I can create a doc on how but hoping they already exist. Thanks

Validate the name of an asset
I need to write a validation that ensures the name of an asset starts with an "A". Normally I can write startsWith(attributes.'FieldName'.first(),("A"), message:"Must start with A"). But I cant figure out what to call the asset name. I have tried Name, Full Name, and Display Name. Any ideas? Thanks

Trigger worklfow on assets import via REST API
Hi, I have a requirement where I want to trigger a workflow on as asset when an asset is created via the REST Import API. I tried using the "Asset Created" start event in workflow settings, but it is working only when the asset is created from the "Create" menu within Collibra. However this setting is not working when the asset is created from the import. Can anyone help with any advice on how can I achieve this? Thanks!

Workflow that creates Full Name
.Hi I am trying to build a workflow that takes the information from an attribute of an asset and the name of the same asset to create a unique full name. This is what I have come up with so far with the help of chatgpt 😅: Unfortunately, this doesn't work and I do not know why. Is it possible at all to change the Full Name with a workflow? import com.collibra.dgc.core.api.component.instance.AssetApi; import com.collibra.dgc.core.api.dto.instance.asset.FindAssetsRequest; import com.collibra.dgc.core.api.dto.instance.asset.SetAssetAttributesRequest; import com.collibra.dgc.core.api.dto.instance.asset.ChangeAssetRequest; import com.collibra.dgc.core.api.component.logger.LoggerApi; import com.collibra.dgc.workflow.api.exception.WorkflowException; import com.collibra.dgc.core.api.dto.instance.attribute.FindAttributesRequest; // Fetch current asset def currentAsset = assetApi.getAsset(item.getId()) // Search for the Model ID attribute def IDattributeValue = attributeApi.findAttributes( FindAttributesRequest.builder() .assetId(item.id) .typeIds([string2Uuid(AttributeResourceMID)]) .build() ) // Check if the Model ID attribute was found if (IDattributeValue == null || IDattributeValue.isEmpty()) { loggerApi.error("Model ID attribute not found for asset ID: " + item.id()) return } def modelID = IDattributeValue.get(0).getValue() // Search for the asset name using FindAssetsRequest def findAssetsResponse = assetApi.findAssets( FindAssetsRequest.builder() .name(currentAsset.getName()) // Use the name of the current asset to find it .build() ) // Check if any assets were found if (findAssetsResponse == null || findAssetsResponse.getResults().isEmpty()) { loggerApi.error("No asset found with the name: " + currentAsset.getName()) return } // Get the first result's name (if you want to use the same asset name) def modelName = findAssetsResponse.getResults().get(0).getName() // Create the new full name def newFullName = modelName + "_" + modelID // Create a ChangeAssetRequest to update the display name ChangeAssetRequest changeAssetRequest = ChangeAssetRequest.builder() .assetId(currentAsset.getId()) .displayName(newFullName) // Set the new display name .build() // Update the asset display name assetApi.changeAsset(changeAssetRequest) loggerApi.info("Updated asset display name to: " + newFullName)
