Initiation Form doesn't appear when usin automatic launch WF

Hello,

I've associated a custom WF developed with VS2005 and IP forms to a task list but when I select "Start this workflow when a new item is created" the initiation form is not shown, so I get "null" for Initiation data on workflowproperties in onWorkflowActivated first event.

But this doesn't happen when I launch manually the workflow. Then (if manually started) the initation form is shown and everything goes fine.

Anyone have any suggestions

    Hi Eduardo,

    You can't use an initiation form on an auto-start workflow.

    If you need to capture custom initiation data on a per item basis I think you'll need to set up some fields on the list or document library and parse the contents of those fields once the workflow has been activated.
