We have error when use this command below in version 2021.00.0075 at should submit expression. Is there new command for version 2021.00.0075?

 DirectCast(Item, BatchFolder).NativeMimeType = "application/pdf"

Inspecting MIME type

• This example would submit the task when the object's (folder) represents a native PDF or the second if its mime type is PDF
  • DirectCast(Item, BatchFolder).IsNativePDF
  • DirectCast(Item, BatchFolder).AttachmentMimeType = "application/pdf"

Does these expressions work on scope batch level? I have tried this expression on the spawn batch step but it does not work. What can be substituted for "DirectCast(Item, BatchFolder).AttachmentMimeType = "application/pdf" in the batch level scope?

As you know, the Spawn Batch activity is designed to execute at the Batch level. Therefore, when working with a Should Submit Expression, "Item" would be referring to the Batch itself, not a subfolder. I don't believe there is any way that your Batch itself is a PDF. The PDF is likely on a Level 1 folder within the batch. If that is the case, this expression can not work. You would need to write an expression that looks at the child of the batch instead to determine if that object's Attachment Type is PDF.
