Joget DX 8 Stable Released
The stable release for Joget DX 8 is now available, with a focus on UX and Governance.
...
In the batch form itself, we can make use of "Post Form Submission Processing" to capture event of "Data Creation" or "Both data creation and update", whichever suits your own use case, to execute bean shell Java code to achieve this.
aa
Bean shell Java code to iterate through grid data and start a process instance for each of the rows.

We make use of LogUtil.info in the code. In the server log, we will see printout such as below:-

Once tested to be working, you may consider commenting them out to minimize unnecessary printout to the server log.aa
