Show property of previous Task

Hi, I'd like to manage to show a property of a previous task.To be clear, let's say I have the simplest workflow : 2 steps only : submitCustomWF and ApproveCustomWFLet's say I have added a custom text property ("fca:eimms") to the submitTask, that the intiator has to fill in.How could I show the pro

I also tried the following :

SECOND TASK :

 <task-node name="step1">
   <task name="fca:poc1Task" swimlane="assignee"/>
   <event type="task-create">
            <script>
               if (fca_eimms != void) taskInstance.fca_eimmsBis = fca_eimms;
      </script>
   </event>
      <transition name="endName" to="end"/>
   </task-node>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

where fca:eimmsBis is a property of this second task. It is not working :

"Caused by: Sourced file: inline evaluation of: ``                   if (fca_eimms != void) taskInstance.fca_eimmsBis = fca_eimms;               ;'' : 
Field access: bsh.ReflectError: No such field: fca_eimmsBis : at Line: 2 : in file: inline
 evaluation of: ``                  if (fca_eimms != void) taskInstance.fca_eimm
sBis = fca_eimms;               ;'' : taskInstance .fca_eimmsBis"

In order to be really CRYSTAL CLEAR let's just try to find an answer to this question (you can forget the previous messages if they're too hard to understand) :
"in the adhoc process example", how could we manage to display in the "wf:adhocTask" screen (second step) the value of "wf:notifyMe" that was set by the initiator during the first phase ?

Thank you all, that problem is breaking my nerves

Please …
I can't be the only one willing to show a property - that was entered on the first form / first task - on the other steps ????

found the solution :


<task name="fca:poc1Task" swimlane="assignee">
   <event type="task-create">
            <script>
               if (fca_eimms != void) taskInstance.setVariable("fca_eimmsBis", fca_eimms);
      </script>
   </event>
      <transition name="endName" to="end"/>
   </task-node>
</task>

Hi,

- 3/ I then tried to have those two tasks heritate of a custom type (and not of bpm:startTask)

That's the right way.
What went wrong when you tried it ? What was your exact configuration ?

Well, I can't tell you because I did it wrong : in fact, the custom type I made was heritating of bpm:startTask … and then my two tasks was children of it, which is wrong because my second task should be a child of bpm:workflowTask.

Then, it did not work out, and as I thought it as really the dirty way to do what I needed, I got back to basic bpmModel, and tried again with a better way.
