topic Need something like activiti:formProperty for ServiceTask. Why is it not available? in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/need-something-like-activiti-formproperty-for-servicetask-why-is/m-p/188771#M141901 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I am thinking of using ServiceTask with arbitrary properties that would be great to have in process definition. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Unfortunately ServiceTask only allows "activiti:field" and that forces your ServiceTask Java class to have only predefined "fields" - properties, basically you can't handle arbitrary number and named "properties" with that layout. You need "activiti:formProperties" or something like it for that.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>You can do it with the "pseudo" lists like:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&lt;activiti:field name="propNames" stringValue="name1, name2, …"&gt;&lt;/activiti:field&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&lt;activiti:field name="propValues" expression="${val1}, ${val2}, …" &gt;&lt;/activiti:field&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Then split the lists in the code and assign: name1=val1; name2=val2, …</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>But this looks real ugly <img id="smileysad" class="emoticon emoticon-smileysad" src="https://connect.hyland.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-sad.png" alt="Smiley Sad" title="Smiley Sad" /> (it's OK actually, but feels somewhat unprofessional and "hacky")</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is there a way to get that functionality. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am new to Activiti, so maybe missing some simple thing. Hoping someone already solved that problem.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>VT</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 13 Jun 2014 05:09:13 GMT vtsurkan 2014-06-13T05:09:13Z Need something like activiti:formProperty for ServiceTask.
