For a task listener it would be better to use a DelegateTask as input parameter and get the task id from there. You can use the following expression for that:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>${formCollectionBuilder.addForm(task)}</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Best regards,</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 25 Oct 2013 10:17:51 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/taskformdata-is-null-inside-complete-tasklistener/m-p/173238#M126396 trademak 2013-10-25T10:17:51Z Re: TaskFormData is null inside complete taskListener https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/taskformdata-is-null-inside-complete-tasklistener/m-p/173239#M126397 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Yep, worked like a charm.&nbsp; Thanks, you rock! <img id="smileyvery-happy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyvery-happy" src="https://connect.hyland.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-very-happy.png" alt="Smiley Very Happy" title="Smiley Very Happy" /></SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sat, 26 Oct 2013 02:39:21 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/taskformdata-is-null-inside-complete-tasklistener/m-p/173239#M126397 yourboogieman 2013-10-26T02:39:21Z
