Dynamic Workflow Attributes

Workflow

Think through this. You have a workflow entry form with a Campus picker. You want people to be able to pick a Campus, have the server POSTBACK that information, and update a Dropdown list of Groups that are at that location. This would be great for dynamically generating a list of Groups based on Campus or generating a filtered list of Connections from Connection Type, Connection Request Type, and finally Connection.

Ideally, if the POSTBACK could update the Workflow Attribute and then re-render the other Single Select/Multiselects, we could definitely make this work. Currently, we can kind of do this by pulling the value from the URL, but this requires completely rerunning the workflow. Additionally, the Workflow has to be configured to Persist to be able to grab the value, so you have to include an additional step to cleanup the first run of the workflow.
