Saving comment in process without user task

ivan_activiti — Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:46:50 GMT

I have a process consisting of a start event, a couple of service tasks, and a mail task. In the start even, there are some form fields users fill out. There is also a comment field which is not part of the form. The comment field is rendered after the form and users have an option to add a comment.

Hi Ivan,

This is the correct way to add a comment to a process instance. However, we currently only support adding comments to running process instances. Is your process instance already completed when invoking the addComment method?

Best regards,

I call the <code>taskService.addComment(null, pi.getId(), commentText);</code> in my code right after the process is started. I assume since there is no user task in my process, it completes before a comment can be added. If I add a user task after the start event, the comment is added successfully.
