I’m trying to support publishing for multiple tasks in Photoshop. The problem is that only the current context is getting used for the Link and Task for all items. I have to set the context manually to get the desired result on the right, even though the Collector seems to know the correct context:

Any ideas how I can make sure the Context is set properly for each item / document?

Hm I thought this worked. Could be a bug.

I’m not sure, since it is currently disabled in the [head branch of tk-photoshopcc](https://github.com/shotgunsoftware/tk-photoshopcc/blob/master/hooks/tk-multi-publish2/basic/collector.py):

```auto
# FIXME: begin temporary workaround
        # we use different logic here only because we don't have proper support
        # for multi context workflows when templates are in play. So if we have
        # a work template configured, for now we'll only collect the current,
        # active document. Once we have proper multi context support, we can
        # remove this.
        if work_template:

```

I am attempting to get muti-document / multi-context publishing working by overriding this hook and modifying the collector logic.

Actually I don’t know about photoshop. I meant that it works in other engines.
