WorkItem.Get

Overview

Gets an WorkItem instance by specified Id number.

WorkItem myWorkItem.Get(id: string)

Arguments

string id

Id number of work item.

Returns

Instance of work item if found, otherwise null.

Remarks

Useful when there is a need to refer to some of the older work items during the current work item. Just the Id number of the older one needs to be saved and passed to the current one. For the work item previous in the workflow, this can be done using WorkItem.Previous.

Example

To access a work item later on the workflow, Id number of it is stored on the form XML while that work item was active.

var identifier = $Xml.Evaluate('Specific_Xpath_for_a_WorkItemId'),
    referred_item = $WorkItem.Get(identifier);

// Now referred_item can be used as a work item object:
var date = referred_item.DeadlineDate;
