Hi, frederikheremans.

What do you mean by enforcing a task to another task?

Just like my process, when execution's Activity is "Task A" or "Task B" or any other,
I want to take transition to "Task D". What shoud l do? Thanks!

You should complete the task in order to have the flow continue to the next task, in our API this is something like this:


Task task = taskService.createTaskQuery().processInstanceId(procDefId).singleResult();
taskService.completeTask(task.getId());

But I want A –> D, or B –> D, or C –> D

There is more than 10 node in My process like "A,B,C", these node sometimes need jump to "Task D"

If that's the case, you should add a conditional gateway before Task B, which has 2 outgoing flows: one to B and another to D (and the same for all your other exceptional cases where you want to skip one or more tasks).

If you really want to be able to dynamically skip any node at any time (without modeling in your process) you shouldn't be using a business-process in the first place
