Bringing items in through AML package as 'Released'

Question

Hello all,

I am working on importing custom itemtypes to load via AML package as part of new builds. Due to how a customized contextual window displays these items, I need the items to be in a 'Released' state when they are brought in. (The window will only display 'Released' items).

However, I am having difficulties getting the items to be in a 'Released state'

1. I've tried adding a <state>Released</state> to each item being brought in

2. I've tried adding a postAMLpackagedeployment script that adds a <state>Released</state> to each item

The catch is, I need the items to abide by its lifecycle/workflow normally when edited and the state returns to 'New'.

Is this possible?

Hi Tyler Kim ,

Items when created are always in default LC state. One of the options can be

1. Import the items

2. Using postAMLpackagedeployment script promote them. You need to use action=PromoteItem

Sample AML can be as below

<AML>
    <Item type='yourItemTypeName' idlist='idsOfItemsToBePromoted' action='PromoteItem'>
        <state>Released</state>
    </Item>
</AML>
