Expose user-placed stamp coordinates to Workflow / Platform API
When a user manually places a stamp on a document, the position of that stamp can be semantically important.
A typical example is supplier invoice processing: a user places a stamp next to a specific invoice line to associate an internal article code with that exact line.
Currently, if a hidden stamp is used to collect a value and a workflow subsequently creates the final visible stamp through the DocuWare Platform API, the original position selected by the user cannot be retrieved or preserved.
The workflow/API can only use predefined coordinates or automatic placement. This breaks the visual relationship between the stamp and the document content selected by the user.
Requested enhancement
Please expose the original manually selected stamp position to Workflow Designer / Platform API, including at least:
- page number
- X coordinate
- Y coordinate
This would allow a workflow to replace or recreate a stamp while preserving exactly the position selected by the user.
Alternatively, provide a native mechanism allowing a workflow-generated stamp to inherit the coordinates of the triggering/user-placed stamp.
Use case
The user selects an article from a multi-column list such as:
CCPC0061 - PCI Pecitape WS - Nastro impermeabile
The resulting visible stamp should contain only:
CCPC0061
while remaining exactly beside the invoice line where the user originally placed it.
This would also make the currently suggested workaround using a hidden stamp + workflow + Platform API practically usable.
