Question

Two childs have links between each other

Laserfiche Workflow

We have a document called ParentDocument.

We split two pages separately from the ParentDocument and those split pages becomes ChildDocument_1 and ChildDocument_2.

Now, using the workflow, we add a link to ParentDocument under each ChildDocument BUT in addition to the link for the ParentDocument, ChildDocument_1 also keeps the link to ChildDocument_2 and same happens with ChildDocument_2, where ChildDocument_2 keeps link for ParentDocument and ChildDocument_1.

Is there a configuration to avoid the ChildDocuments to keep/add links to the other ChildDocument?

How is your workflow structured? If you just link the parent to the child documents, there's no link between the children.

Hi Miruna,

I don't see any issue with workflow because, we have the same workflow copies deployed in 6 different environments and we are seeing this mentioned issue in only 2 of the environments.

So, I am assuming this has something to do with the configurations.

Thanks

This is just guessing since I can't tell what the workflow is doing, but assuming a simple Create Link activity, it sounds to me like you are triggering the Workflow with both the parent and the children as starting entries, rather than just on the parent doc.

Miruna,

We have similar workflow copies deployed in 4 different environments and this issue we are experiencing is happening only in 2 of the environments.

My understanding is, this is something to do with the settings in the repository or the workflow settings in those environments, which is causing this behavior.

There are no settings in the repository that generate automatic links between documents. There are no overall Workflow settings for creating links outside of the activity itself. There is something in your workflow definition and/or starting rule that is causing this behavior, but there is not enough information to guess what that might be.

Have you looked into which instances of Workflow acted on the documents in question? Is it a single one or more? What does the workflow definition look like?
