this should be enough



<event type="task-create">       
            <script>          
              <expression>
              if (bpm_workflowDueDate != void)
              taskInstance.dueDate = bpm_workflowDueDate;
              if (bpm_workflowPriority != void)
              taskInstance.priority = bpm_workflowPriority;
              <expression>
            </script>
         </event>

Hi Mits,

Thanks for the prompt reply, I was thinking of getting the document name to which the workflow is attached into. I did insert the codes so that I can add the line


"bpm_package.children[0].properties["cm:name"];"
‍‍‍

is there any other way to call "bpm_package.children" without adding the action class?

you should be able to get the name with code line you have mentioned what is the issue you are facing?

Hi Mits,

Thank you for your guidance as your replies to this thread is very helpful. I have found a solution in modifying the task description for the workflow with the solution below;

This is done by modifying the event "task-assign" with the code provided below.
Note that you also need to add "bpm_package" as a variable.


taskInstance.desciption = "updated document" + bpm_package.children[0].properties["cm:name"];
