Copy Assignment reject comment to a property

You can use the auto-calculation feature in the Managed Properties module to copy the latest comment to a property on the metadata card, sample rule below. Note that this will copy the latest comment regardless of whether it comes from an assignment rejection or any other situation as there isn't a way to identify the context.

Managed Properties is part of the free Configuration Accelerators add-on and delivered in the Compliance Kit vault application.

I'm not aware of a way to make the comment mandatory in the dialog that pops up when the assignment is completed.

Hi cdaye90,

this is how we solved this issue using our Extension Kit VAF. Extension Kit has a module called Property Operations. With that module, you can manipulate property values on the same or children objects based on object changes, state transitions, etc. This is all completed with a simple VAF configuration, no VB Scripts are needed.

This is a configuration for your case in particular. When the object is changed and Marked as rejected by on Assignment class becomes something other than empty we copy the Comment value to the Text property. Property can be filled in many ways, this is just one of them. You can also control if the change will happen only on the first reject or on every reject after that. Also, values added to properties can be transformed in any way you like.

Dino,

I have another forum item (link below). Can this kit resolve this item also? I know I may need to change the property to fix also. The owner property is a sublist of a sublist.

Joonas,

Is "Calculation Rules) a new item in the Compliance Kit? I don't see it under configuration. We are currently on M-Files 2018(21.6.10322.8).

You should be able to add these rules under Managed Properties > Auto Calculated Properties.
