PopupManager.displayForm - edit task's properties

I'm trying to display popup which enables user to edit some of a task's properties. I thought displayForm function would be suitable for this:http://sharextras.org/jsdoc/share/community-4.0.d/symbols/Alfresco.util.PopupManager.html#.displayFormBut according to forms developer guide (http://wiki.alfr

Which version are you using ? alfresco now supports task-type。

Thank you for the reply, my version is 4.1.4.

So what are the valid form properties to pass to the function?
I guess it's something like:

         params.itemKind  = 'task';
         params.itemId  = 'activiti$12345';‍‍

@EDIT
The configuration i posted above worked fine.
However, itemKind = 'task' was just lucky guess so I would be glad for some source of information about supported itemKinds.

Hi,

The only doc I could find about this itemKind values is:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Forms_Developer_Guide#Usage
<cite>itemKind: The "kind" of item the form is for, the only supported kind currently is "node".</site>

Looking into alfresco code however I could find:
- "task" :
In workflow-form.js
and here: https://forums.alfresco.com/forum/developer-discussions/alfresco-share-development/simpledialog-cannot-read-property-content
- "workflow" :
In start-workflow.js
- "type" :
In cloud-folder.js, toolbar.js, datalists.js
and here http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/developer-discussions/alfresco-share-development/using-forms-service-webscript-actions
And of course, "node"

Not sure if there are others. I can't think of anything else whose properties are edited via the form generator anyway.
