Caleb Zautner Pass in records from a Task list view to a flow using Visualforce
Hello,
I am trying to create a "Mass Clone" and a "Mass Delete" button that will be visible from the list view of Tasks. My current approach is to create a flow that takes in a collection of records and loops through to either delete or clone them. I'm just focused on the 'delete' for now, once that's working I will add to the flow or create a new one for 'update'.
To kick off the flow, I have a visualforce page that is added to a List View button. This visualforce page should collect the marked records and pass them along to the flow.
First, is this even possible?
Second, am I on the right track?
The flow is pretty straight-forward.
This is what I have for my visualforce page.
Thanks in advanced!

<apex:page standardController="Task" tabStyle="Task" recordSetVar="tasks">
<apex:repeat value="{!tasks}" var="row" rendered="false">
{!row.Id}
</apex:repeat>
<flow:interview name="Task_Delete">
<apex:param name="TaskCollection" value="{!tasks}" />
</flow:interview>
</apex:page>
Finally, here is the setup for the List View button.

I was using that site before to build out what I have so far, but it didn't seem to work. I created a test flow that should simply display the id's of all the selected tasks. I assigned the visualforce page to that flow instead, and when I run it it just shows the first 20 tasks from the list view (regardless of which tasks I have selected, if any).
Any ideas why it's not passing through the correct id's?
All I did was create a Collection variable and used is in my visualforce page.
<apex:page standardController="Task" tabStyle="Task" recordSetVar="tasks"> <apex:repeat value="{!tasks}" var="row" rendered="false"> {!row.Id} </apex:repeat> <flow:interview name="Task_Delete_Test" > <apex:param name="Task_Collection" value="{!tasks}" /> </flow:interview> </apex:page>
