Hi Xena

if I remember correctly with this line

bpm_package.children . properties ["wfpm: status"] = "Verificato"

what you are doing is assigning a value to a property status
you have a file associated with the particular workflow as you have within
of for, really you're doing to all documents associated with having the workflow, I guess you do not have any document associated with it?
why it is coming out the error you property, try to attach a workflow document that has a property defined as wfpm: status

if what you are trying to access is a property of how to access workflow is bpm_package.properties [wfpm: status], children are for documents related to workflow, but should be a defined value for this property. Check the wiki to document yourself about this because long ago I do not play and what the story is how little I remember.

A greeting.

Viewing the many forums and trying all the possible solutions I finally found the right version.
As I am finally able to get the variable that corresponds to the user that execute the task, in the end I have got directly the first and last name, no more the username.
This is the code:


<task-node name="Validazione" >
     <task name="wfpm:validazioneTask" swimlane="approvers" >
  <event type="task-end">
               <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
                  <script>
                     <variable name="bpm_assignee" access="write"/>
                     <expression>
                        if (taskInstance.actorId != null)
                           people.getPerson(taskInstance.actorId);
                        else
                           person;
                     </expression>
                  </script> 
                </action>
            </event>
        </task>

       <event type="node-enter">
           <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
               <runas>admin</runas>
               <script>
                   for (var i = 0; i &lt; bpm_package.children.length; i++)
                   {
                      bpm_package.children[i].properties["wfpm:status"] = "Verificato";
                      bpm_package.children[i].save();
                   }

               </script>
           </action>
       </event>
      <transition to="Rifiutato" name="Rifiuta"></transition>
      <transition to="Validato" name="Valida"> 
                 <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
               <runas>admin</runas>
               <script>
                   for (var i = 0; i &lt; bpm_package.children.length; i++)
                   {
                       var nome= bpm_assignee.properties["cm:firstName"];
                       var cognome=  bpm_assignee.properties["cm:lastName"];
                       var utente= nome + ' ' + cognome;
                       bpm_package.children[i].properties["wfpm:utente"] = utente;

                       bpm_package.children[i].save();
                   }

               </script>
           </action></transition>
   </task-node>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I think the main point where was wrong was that I wanted to call the variable in the node-enter, but now declaring the variable bmp_assignee in the task-end event, and taking one of its properties during the transition, (not in the next task-node ), I finally get what I needed

But with this lines :

bpm_package.children.properties["wfpm:status"] = "Verificato";
bpm_package.children.save();

you set the property on the workflow or on the associated files in the workflow?

could you remember me?

Hi giorgio!
With that code I set the custom property "status" that I have created for files that are included in the workflow.
