Firstly why are you creating a promise when $.post returns a promise anyway
Secondly where does this come into your original post
You set myReturn on line 59 of the first post
But never use it after that
Question: how do you know your function processLinkedDocuments is not being called - are you seeing the
If you are referring to the if statement on line 27 of your second code snippet
isSaveLinkedDocsChecked()
And
isEmailLinkedDocsChecked()

I cannot see below code using the current variable myReturn
myReturn is a local variable to the success function with your $.post call. If will only be available if you use it within that success function or declare myReturn as global variable.
BTW, It seems like you are using unnecessary promises in your code. You can clean and simplify your code.

Can you please share how the initial function is being used and what is the use of "myReturn"?
