You are referring to the form-properties I presume? It's currently not possible to define a "shared" set of form-properties for multiple user-tasks. Are you using a custom UI to show the forms? If so, you can opt for NOT using the form-properties but count on the "form key" instead, creating a form in your UI and passing in variables when submitting the form, instead of using form-properties.

This way, the way the form is rendered is completely up to you, so it can be dynamic/shared with other user-taks, while the process is unaware of this, and is just receiving variables.

How we can count on "Form key" ? I make an HTML or JSF file and use "form key" to reference this file to my process. But I don't really know, how can make a connection between my process and that HTML or JSF file when I deploy the process. I mean the process file in Activiti 5.14 just a bpmn file and can not make a BAR or ZIP file with other resources.

How I can add these resources to my process? (I thought, I should add these resources to the Activiti Tomocat! Maybe!)

Best,

The UI is really dependant of the engine itself. You should create your own mapping between the form-key of a task and *SOME* view you will render in the UI-tier. Depending on what UI you're using, your view-manager will have to either redirect to that particular view or include a fragment of HTML/whatever in the current view, based on that key.
