Can I apply a Comala workflow with label ABC but NOT XYZ

[Margaret Hassall]

I currently have a Comala space workflow that is applied to all confluence pages with the label "training", but I'd like to also say, but not if it also has label "archived".

I have experimented with the invert label flag, but that applies to all labels in the list.

Hello @Margaret Hassall 

You have tagged this as deployed on Cloud however currently Comala Document Management cloud does not have label workflows. Having said that as you mentioned the invert label flag I assume you are using Comala Document Management server or data center.

There is no direct way to achieve what you want with the workflow label filter and invert label flag.

One alternative approach would be to use two active workflows:

Workflow 1 - Your Documents Workflow with label = training-wf

{workflow:name=Training Workflow|label=training-wf}
    {state:...
    ...
{workflow}

Workflow 2 - A separate label triggers workflow to manage which labels should be set / removed, e.g.

{workflow:name=label-triggers}
    {trigger:labeladded|label=training}
        {set-label:training-wf}
    {trigger}
    {trigger:labeladded|label=archived|haslabel=training-wf}
        {remove-label:training-wf}
    {trigger}
    {trigger:labelremoved|label=archived|haslabel=training}
        {set-label:training-wf}
    {trigger}
{workflow}

You may need to specify additional use cases in Workflow 2 depending on your exact requirements.
