Hi,

The idea is to supply process variables to the template. These will be static values effective for the template. We do add process variables pro grammatically when starting the process. But these process variables will be provided at design time through designer. Data-objects allows me to add process variables in bpmn xml, but we want this option via the designer. I was trying to use the Form properties (in eclipse designer )at Start event to supply the process variables, it got added as extension variable :

I am attaching a xml as a text document.

But when I tried to use these variable in the form, it was not effective.

Thanks for your reponse
