Filtering item in an Alfresco Workflow package control

I have a custom Advanced Workflow in Alfresco that contains the bpm:packageItem control. But, by default, this control lists every document the user has permission to. I must list in this control only documents that are associated to an aspect in particular. Is it even possible? How can I implement this?

You'll have to tweak /org/alfresco/components/form/controls/workflow/packageitems.ftl and use that tweaked copy. In the copy, change itemType: "cm:content" to whatever type or aspect you want. Configure the form to use your tweaked copy for the field:

<field id="packageItems" set="items" >
   <control template="/your-packageitems.ftl"/>
</field>

The default template already supports various configuration options such as where to start. You may want to make your aspect another parameter.

Very simple, after the first task (or after every task) just do a check on the bpm_package. Just put in the JavaScript within a task or ScriptTask and loop through the bpm_package.

Here in the Wiki there is a nice example on JBPM (script should work in activiti). Snippet:

           <script>
               for (var i = 0; i &lt; bpm_package.children.length; i++)
               {
                  if (!bpm_package.children[i].hasAspect("wfl:status"))
                  {
                     bpm_package.children[i].addAspect("wfl:status");
                  }
               }
           </script>
