var workflow = actions.create("start-workflow");
workflow.parameters.workflowName = "jbpm$ep:document";
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDescription"] = "description: you can write everything";‍‍‍

Thanks

Hi,

Got a reply with Alfresco, the Javascript API for setting task properties such as setProperties() has not been implemented yet. So, instead, go with the Java-backed webscript route and use WorkflowServices.

Thanks
