I'm currently dynamically rendering forms in my web app by by outputting html based on the formProperty type, using jstl e.g. <c:if test="${formProperty.getType() == 'string'"> <input type="text"…etc.I currently use the form type "enum" when I want to render a dropdown list i.e. <select&

You want to implement this custom form type in the Activiti Explorer?
What is it in specific that you are struggling with?
You can look at the existing form types on how to implement a new one.

Best regards,

I want to implement this custom form in my own web app that's using Activiti. I generate my forms based on the formProperty type so I basically need a form type that acts like the enum type but is called something else as I already have a way of generating enums (using a dropdown list) but I'd also like to be able to generate checkboxs, radiio buttons etc.

I'm able to make a basic new formtype but I'm struggling with how to use it to access the formProperties that you can fill in using Activiti Designer on Eclipse.
