Passing values between workflow tasks

azivotic — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:10:09 GMT

Hi, I have problem with passing property values between tasks. For example, i have in start task model defined property:…<parent>bpm:startTask</parent> <properties> <property name="mcwmrojectName"> <title>Naziv projekta</title> <type>

Try moving mcwmrojectName to an aspect, then make that aspect mandatory on your type that extends bpm:startTask as well as your mcwmreparationOfProjectCharter type.

Thanks a lot on your help.

I defined custom aspect with mcwmrojectName property and one more.


<aspect name="mcwm:myCustomAspect">
<property name="mcwm:projectName">
   <title>Naziv projekta</title>
   <type>d:text</type>
   <mandatory>true</mandatory>
</property>
<property name="mcwm:shortProjectName">
   <title>Skraceni naziv projekta</title>
   <type>d:text</type>
   <mandatory>true</mandatory>
</property>
</aspect">
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I add them on both task type (mcwm:myStartTask as well as mcwmreparationOfProjectCharter) as mandatory aspect and that's ok.

But i'm facing now with some other problem. On mcwm:myStartTask property of my custom aspect mcwmrojectName is mandatory and i want that this filed on my second task ins't mandatory. On my second task i use


<overrides>
       <property name="mcwm:projectName">
      <mandatory>false</mandatory>
   </property>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

but this doesn't have any effect, projectName is still mandatory as i defined in aspect? Any idea why this is wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Aleksadnar

Try making it non-mandatory in the model, but required in the Share form config. That way you can make it required in one task and optional in another.
