Great - that seems to solve the core task I wanted to do :)
I would say this isn't very intuitive or obvious... but once you know
how it can be done it is pretty easy. Maybe some tooltip text would
help?
I'm also wondering about adding "Workflow Parameters" to the
workflow menu (next to Edit Attributes, Layout, Save, Close),
or simply adding them to the Workflow Attributes editor? That
would also give somewhere to add a text caption to the new
workflow parameter (the second part of my query).
(I'm sure you have some ideas in house too)
Thanks!
Peter
