Workflow: CreateBatch command, validate that the batch already exists Merged

The command to createBatch, would have to have the option to check if Batch exists, if there is to use, otherwise, create. Because today we have to validate via code if there is already a lot by name.

    This will be possible by creating a custom command, which is on the roadmap

    So, you would want some like "Get or Create batch":

    getOrCreateBatch --description "Criado em ${hoje.Hour}:${hoje.Minute}" --defaultvalues "totalVendasAprovadas=${totalVendasAprovadas}" --workflow${wf} --key "${loteNome}" lote=value

    Hi, these are command with I need to use for validate if exists the batch, to use or create a new

    [code]

    listBatches --workflow${wf} --status "New" loteLista=value

    foreach --collection "${loteLista}" --variable "${lote}"

    if --left "${lote.Key}" --operator "Equal_To" --right "${loteNome}"

    setVar --name "${sucesso}" --value true

    endIf

    endFor

    if --left "${sucesso}" --operator "Is_True" --negate

    createBatch --description "Criado em ${hoje.Hour}:${hoje.Minute}" --defaultvalues "totalVendasAprovadas=${totalVendasAprovadas}" --workflow${wf} --key "${loteNome}" lote=value
