One quick solution I would try is to use a call activity and create a sub process instead of a task for the "wait for fulfill".
In that case, I can use the built in input and output parameter to preserve the order id.
But I wonder if this is abuse of call activity.

Can anyone tell me if Activiti can set task level variables for next task? (Without writing code that copies down the process level variable to task level at the beginning of the task)

Thank you very much!

Can anyone give me a simple yes/no? Not proposing new feature here but wonder if I should stop looking and start writing code or not.

I was not able to pass the variables between forms and tasks ., for example there are two user tasks and the form variables in both tasks were defined as something as like this

<code>
<extensionElements>
<activiti:formProperty id="firstname" name="firstname" type="string" variable="$firstname"></activiti:formProperty>
</extensionElements>
</code>

In order to access the form variables were , this following piece of line of code was helpful.,

<code>
Object map = activitiSpringRule.getFormService().getTaskFormData(task.getId());
….

taskFormFirstName = ((FormPropertyImpl) ((TaskFormDataImpl) pvMap).getFormProperties().get(0)).getValue();
</code>

cheers,

Thank you sathish. So it seems that this is not possible without code.
