Is there an easy way to save multiple documents from Bonita to Alfresco dynamically? I have found some instructions in the following link, but it didn’t work for me. [http://community.ofelia.com/questions-and-answers/multiple-documents-upload-single-form](http://community.ofelia.com/questions-and-answers/multiple-documents-upload-single-form) I basically have a form with multiple documents input, but not all documents are mandatory. I need a solution to save 1, 5 or 10 documents without having to make more than one Alfresco connector and without being obliged to put all the documents. I am new to Bonita and I would appretiate any help I can get. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks in advance. ---

I have a list of documents and then use a MultiInstantiation step to call a service task to upload the documents. Easy as pie… regards Seán _PS: If this reply answers your question, please mark a resolved._ _PPS: I see you used my previous instructions…that was for 6, you need to modify for 7…_ ---

Hi, May I know, how you are trying to upload the document(one or more), is it using the document variable?.. Regards, Vivek ---

Yes, I am using the document variable as single and without any initial content. Output operation is document reference of type java.lang.String. ---

Hi Sean, I am using Bonita 7, but for creating forms I am using Bonita 6.x App. Does that make any difference for your old instructions? Seems to me that they should work in that case. I made an AddAFile button and I added the JavaScript code in the HTML widget initial value, but nothing happens when AddAFile button is clicked. It doesn’t start the script for some reason. Best regards, Jovana ---
