clnyx — Wed, 23 Oct 2013 07:50:32 GMT

Hello,i already got a task by starting a process instance (http://www.activiti.org/userguide/index.html#N13876).But I am missing some fields, that won't get set to the task.I want to set the "dueDate" field for the task. Json looks like this:{"dueDate": null}Url: /activiti-rest/service/runtime/tasks

You should use a PUT instead of a POST.

Best regards,

Thank you, that worked.

I have just a simple process, containing one task. Can I create the process instance, that the task automatically gets the "dueDate"-Field filled? Or do I have to update the task afterwards?

Greetings, syccl

Sure you can, it's explained in the user guide in the user task description.

Best regards,
