Launching position form from PERWSHRG

Question

I want to launch the position form from the person assignment combined form as follows:
From the person form click assignment button, then click other button and select position from the list.
By adding the POSITION_DT node to the taskflow, I am able to get an entry in the list when clicking OTHER from the assignment screen. However when I select the entry the position form opens up blank. I want it to automatically query the position that was displayed in the assignment screen.
Can anyone help me with this?

Answer 1

Well none of that worked. After examining the code for the position form (HRWSPSF), it was learned that by setting the GLOBALS.G_POSITION_ID, the form would launch to that position. We first tried this by hardcoding a value just to test the theory out and it worked.
In order to have the position form bring up the current assignment in the assignment form we:
Added the POSITION_DT node to the US SHRMS PERSON TASKFLOW - This makes position available under OTHERS on the assignment form.
Next, we navigated to the position form through the assignment form by clicking others and did the following personalization:
CONDITION: WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE with blank condition
ACTIONS:
TYPE: Property, Object Type: Global variable, Target Object: G_POSITION_ID, Property Name: Value,
Value:
= Select TO_CHAR(POSITION_ID) from hr.per_all_assignments_f papf where papf.assignment_id= :GLOBAL.G_ASSIGNMENT_ID
and trunc(sysdate) between trunc(papf.effective_start_date) and trunc(papf.effective_end_date)
