Hi Man, i have the same problem, but the error was mine, the sanz prefix match exactly what you set in the type definition?? because one reason of the exception could be this

Cheers

You can't just add the variable to the web UI, you also have to add it to the content model. After you've added your variable to the model, you'll be able to edit it in your workflow tasks and see it in the UI.

Hi,

Actually I've tried to add it to the model (on the first task where the total is initialized and on the second task where I want to update the value), however alfresco complained that the variable already defined unfortunately I forgot the exact error message.

Here's how I declared the variable :


     <type name="sanz:submitTask">
         <parent>bpm:startTask</parent>
         <properties>
            <property name="sanz:total">
               <type>d:int</type>
               <default>0</default>
            </property>
          </properties>
        <mandatory-aspects>
            <aspect>elbm:actor1</aspect>
         </mandatory-aspects>
      </type>

    <type name="sanz:review">
         <parent>bpm:workflowTask</parent>
         <properties>
            <property name="sanz:total">
               <type>d:int</type>
               <default>0</default>
            </property>
          </properties>
      </type>

Do you have any idea what is causing the error?

Thanks

Yes, the sanz prefix match with my type definition.
