outputCreatedTermId and other workflow magic

I’m hitting a wall here. In a workflow creating an asset, I’m trying to display the popup with the link to the newly created asset, but it does not appear and I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.

Collibra OOTB workflow intakeBusinessTerm WORKS

def newAssetUuid = assetApi.addAsset(AddAssetRequest.builder()
           .name(signifier)
           .displayName(signifier)
           .typeId(conceptType)
           .domainId(string2Uuid(intakeVocabulary))
           .build()).getId()

execution.setVariable("outputCreatedTermId",uuid2String(newAssetUuid))

My custom workflow DOES NOT WORK

def newAssetUuid = assetApi.addAsset(AddAssetRequest.builder()
	.name(code)
	.displayName(name)
	.typeId(dpiaTrackingTypeUuid)
	.domainId(dpiaTrackingDomainUuid)
	.status(newStatusUuid)
	.build()).getId()

execution.setVariable("outputCreatedTermId",uuid2String(newAssetUuid))

Does anyone know what magic incantation should be performed to get the metadata gods to grace me with a useful pop-up?

I think I found the issue!!!
The workflow was deployed as applying to an asset.

When changing the configuration to “global”, tadaaa, the pop up appeared.

That does not solve my problem (I prefer to have the right process and workaround for the popup than a clunky process and popup)
Is that a bug? I cannot find any documentation about it and it’s the kind of blackbox magic that is really annoying.

That’s ok. Deep breaths.

Hey Arthur,

On the off-chance, is there a workflow event that would be triggering on the creation of the asset, effectively preventing its final creation until the triggered process is complete?

Cheers,
Tom

Hum no… There’s just start event -> script -> end
and the script does the following things:

Set variables in a loop (execution.setVariable)
Get and update a sequence from the workflow definition (getWorkflowDefinition, changeWorfklowDefinition)
Create the new asset (addAsset)
Get a user and assign responsibility (getUser, addResponsibility)
Add attributes and relations to asset (addAttribute, addRelations)
Add File attachment (addAttachment)
set variable “outputCreatedTermId” (execution.setVariable)

Aaaannd… that’s about it. So I guess there’s some secret logic here that I don’t understand.
Is there any documentation about this? I cannot find anything.

I stripped down the script to the bare minimum, and it’s still failing to display the popup…

import com.collibra.dgc.core.api.dto.instance.asset.AddAssetRequest;

def newAssetUuid = assetApi.addAsset(AddAssetRequest.builder()
	.name("test-3")
	.typeId(string2Uuid('67f0b8c4-de00-4a5d-8f45-41678ef9ec81'))
	.domainId(string2Uuid('e7761356-36c2-46c2-a073-567a67de7c3e'))
	.build()).getId()

execution.setVariable("outputCreatedTermId",uuid2String(newAssetUuid))

This is now the entirety of the script.
