If I understand correctly, you just need to add something like the following to your workflow model to get the desired behaviour:

      <!– This review task can add items and view existing ones –>
      <type name="mywf:myReviewTask">
         <parent>wf:activitiReviewTask</parent>
         <overrides>
            <property name="bpm:packageActionGroup">
               <default>add_package_item_actions</default>
            </property>
            <property name="bpm:packageItemActionGroup">
               <default>read_package_item_actions</default>
            </property>
         </overrides>
      </type>

Great but what should I put in share-config-custom to display it correctly? I tried bpmackageActionGroup and bpmackageItemActionGroup but I only see a normal text input, if I put just packageItems in the show and field tags I can see the list of items but I cannnot add new ones.

Regards.

It's working, I've started a new workflow and I can see it now, I just added "<show id="packageItems" />" and "<field id="packageItems" set="items" />" with the "overrides" tag above, the problem was that it wasn't updating the one I was testing. Thank you for the help.
