Looks like 'activiti-app/app/rest/task-forms/12550' only show values that are in the 'submitted_form' table.

The taskform rest request is only returning the definition, not the values. Those are correlated with the variables REST call.

Not sure why it doesn't work. Can you export your app and attach it here so we can have a look?

I had exactly the same problems which I temporarily solved by setting each variable which I would like to use in the process in start form, even when I don't expect a value to be provided by initiator and I would generate/retrieve the value with some sort of script task. Is it also correct that it is not possible to define data objects for process model like it is done in Activiti Designer (Eclipse)?

I added the app that you requested.
Just rename to zip

Ok, thanks for the app zip. That helps a lot!

The problem is that only the label is defined, but the variables are fetched based on id, not the label.
In the very soon to be released 1.4 version we've fixed this by adding a 'variables' property to the script task. This effectively allows you define variables that are set by these tasks, all the following forms, sequence flow, etc. will pick this up, including the Display Value field.
