Yes, that should be possible.

When you say 'gets reset', do you mean it gets reset in the designer?

Thanks for the reply.
yes what happenes is when there is a change done at designer level.The custom tags

<activiti:futureActor>Harish</activiti:futureActor>
<activiti:colour>green</activiti:colour>

are getting removed and I can see only

<extensionElements>
</extensionElements>

for a temporary fix currently I am using the <activiti:field> element which is present inside the <extensionelements> tag.But in future it will be great if we can define our own custom elements inside the <extensionelement .So that parsing level validation error can be handled easily.
