Hi,

I'm trying to understand the multi task execution via Indicium (Universal):

https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/indicium/multi-row_tasks.html

I’ve managed to get it working:

POST /sf/appl/subject(key)/task_dummy/stage

Returns a new location where you can add rows. For each row you call:

POST /sf/appl/subject(key)/staged_task_dummy(id)/add_context

and finally 

POST /sf/appl/subject(key)/task_dummy(id)/commit

However, the add_context step can be depending on the size quite an amount of http calls. This is exact what I would like to prevent with multirow task execution.

Is it somehow to run a multirow task in a single http call, or at a maximum of three? I've tried to run the task without staging, but that gives an error in Indicium:

 Cannot change the value of the property 'multi_row' of 'task_dummy'.The application model prohibits editing this property.

I think this is caused by the fact that the input parameter multi_row is hidden.

I can think of an alternative with an API exposed subroutine, but I was wondering if this was possible out of the box.

Hello René,

The API currently does not support this. If you would like to see a feature like this, I recommend creating an idea for it, so people can vote on it.

Hi Vincent, Thanks for the update. 

There is a workaround for this by creating a subroutine with xml/json input and expose it as an API method. Creating an idea for this has no chance I think, it's a quite rare situation I think which don't get much votes, and as there are a lot of ideas and only a few are implemented.

However from a performance point of view I'm a bit worried about the Universal GUI, if it's fast enough if it's doing large amount of http calls when executing a task for multiple rows. I don't know where this is going.
