Mass approval not working for a Decision object type task

[Former Member]

Hello UWL Experts,

I am trying to incorporate mass approval for CRM system from UWL in Portal.With UWL configuration done correctly ,I have created a custom XML file which contains a custom view to contain an extra column "Approve" with checkbox and a SubmitDecisions button at the bottom of the list.But whenever I click on SubmitDecisions button after selecting a work item of the same item type(Task) I get an error message which says "The action is not valid for this item type !".I am pasting my code snippet for the relevant sections here so that you can have a look .Pleas advise where I am going wrong.

(Action part )

I have gone through numerous blogs and discussion forums on this and I cannot understand what is missing. Please help as this is pending for a long time.

Thanks,

Hi Arijit

try below code , I do't think that launchInNewWindow="SHOW_HEADERLESS_PORTAL" is required

<Action name="accept" userDecision="yes" handler="UserDecisionHandler">
    <Properties>
      <Property name="decisionKey" value="1"/>
    </Properties>
    <Descriptions default="Accept"/>
</Action>

Regards,

Piyush
