Does anyone know of a nifty way to work with different types of data for drag/drop zones? I have two drag object types and need to be able to drop them both on the same drop area/zone. However, every time I try to do so, I get the following error with the second workflow for the other data type not being used:
There is a type mismatch between the dropped group and the workflow type
Here’s the Workflow view; depending on what’s dropped, I get an error for either #1 or #2:
My best guess is each drag/drop zone only supports one type of content, therefore it can only display one dropped group.
I would suggest you to create two different drag/drop groups with the two different field at the same location. Make your two workflows drop on the two groups respectively. They will appear on the same place for a viewer. But you know at the backend, they are two elements, so they won’t crash.
If you could provide more details (maybe how you construct your workflow / settings/ data type), we can give a bit more solid suggestions.
Hope that helps!
@ada, sooooo it helps if you confirm the drop area actually has a workflow set up… 
apologies!
Drop areas do work with different types of drop items even if the drop area’s type isn’t the same; I simply needed to put another workflow in place that had a condition that checked if the dropped item was of a different type.
Thanks again for your help.
I’ve been having the same issue, and can’t figure out how to check for the different type.
How did you “put another workflow in place that had a condition that checked if the dropped item was of a different type”?
Just dropping this here in case somebody is looking for a solution. You can choose the Type of Thing inside the event.
