Replacing a value in multivalued attribute - Action workflow

Answered Replacing a value in multivalued attribute - Action workflow

    There are two attributes: PositionType(singlevalued attribute) and PositionTypes (multivalued attribute).

    Adding or changing PositionType should reflect in PositionTypes (multivalued attribute).

     Question:

     

    I can add the new value of PositionType to PositionTypes. But how can I delete the old value of PositionType from PositionTypes.

    I couldn’t find a lookup grammar to code in Action workflow. I tried using /Delta and /ComparedRequest.

    So are you saying that if PositionType changes from A to B..

    You want to add B to PositionTypes and remove A from PositionTypes?

    Frank,

    I got the solution. I used

    A) authorization workflow

    B)in action activity, I used //target/PositionType (to get the old value) and //delta/PositionType (to get the new value).

    Thanks!

    Yes, that's what I would recommend. Just be aware that if the change comes through the sync service, it will bypass your authorization rule - otherwise, you should be good.

    Thanks Frank. So, is there any other solution which can be enforced by sync rule?

    Frank, How can I add a string value to a multivalued attribute?

    InsertValues("string")..will this work?

    Yes, Here's an example for setting an UpdateResource (named updateGroup) UpdateRequestParameter collection to add a member to a static group

    updateGroup.UpdateParameters = new UpdateRequestParameter[]

    {
       new UpdateRequestParameter("ExplicitMember",
       UpdateMode.Insert,
       parentWorkflow.TargetId)

    };

    Thanks Frank! I am new to FIM and I haven't got to that point that. Where would I write this code?

    It would be in a custom workflow activity. Here's a sample activity to give you some idea what's involved.
