You have list of dates to meet:
datesToMeet[ date1, date2, date3, date4]
You have to start 4 sub processes by multi instance behavior where these list is given as input


<multiInstanceLoopCharacteristics isSequential="true" 
     activiti:collection="${datesToMeet}" activiti:elementVariable="dateToMeet" >

Thanks for the quick response, my challenge is that the multi-instances cannot be sequential, because all dates need to be displayed on the calendar ,so, I am wondering if there is a way to tell the activiti engine which is the next available date to set as the due date..

Thanks

Hi,

activiti:elementVariable="dateToMeet" works for isSequential="false" too. (if not it's a bug).
