Using record producer to create a release.

[kchadwick]

I would like to use Record producer to create a release within Digital product release. I have successfully been able to create a release but I cannot get the release task to be fully configured with phase tasks and tasks within those phases. I am using the code within the Record producer script:

current.applyTemplate(producer.template); 

where template is the template name. I have a few templates and would like to be able to choose the release template from a dropdown list instead of the static list within "Generated Record Data". Is this not possible with the DPR module or do I need to add more code to apply the template fully?

We want to create a release based on user questions collected through a form. It would be best if they did not select the release template for our case and based on their answers to 7 questions an automation determines what release template to use. Is this possible within DPR itself?

Hi @kchadwick 

I think yes, but the issue is that to access the template, a user needs the required role. If the user has the required role, it's better to redirect them to the workspace instead of the portal. To give users the option to select or show the template based on their answer, it would require a good if/else or decision table configuration.

@kchadwick Interesting use case, please post here if you crack this.

Hi @kchadwick, We have a flow designer action "Create product release" that allows you to create release by applying the template. I'd suggest you take the necessary inputs in the service catalog form and invoke a flow to create the release.

Please note that we are marking the action as deprecated in our April update (though it must continue working). We will soon be shipping a new action with updated functionality, that will work for both single product and multi-product use cases. (subjected to safe harbour, ofcourse). 

Let me know if that will suit your requirement.

Hi Balaji, would this new action with updated functionality create tasks from the template as well?
