You need to configure start task related config in your share-config-custom.xml
then only that form will be visible.

Hi,

Before I spent all the night looking for the way out, can you please give me some more hints? I've studied all share-config-custom.xml finding no option to configure start task..

Can you help me more?

Hi Paolo,

In your share-config-custom.xml file, add or find (if exist) sometime like this:


    <config evaluator="task-type" condition="YOU CONTENT TYPE NAME OF START TASK (i.e.: wf:startTask)">
      <forms>
         <form>
            <field-visibility>
               <show id="bpm:workflowDescription" />
               <show id="packageItems" />
               <show id="transitions" />
               <show id="bpm:status" />
               <!– And all your fields which you wish see –>
            </field-visibility>
            <appearance>
               <!– And the appearance of the above fields. –>
               <set id="" appearance="title" label-id="workflow.set.general" />
               <set id="items" appearance="title" label-id="workflow.set.items" />
               <set id="progress" appearance="title" label-id="workflow.set.task.progress" />
               
               <field id="bpm:workflowDescription" label-id="workflow.field.message"/>
               <field id="packageItems" set="items" />
               <field id="bpm:status" set="progress" />
            </appearance>
         </form>
      </forms>
    </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

According to what I see, you use a tool for design your forms. Then, I don't know if the above code is applicable to your method. If you can and whish, you can send me your share-config-custom.xml and I can see the code.

Other option is follow other tutorial without a tool for design forms. I recommend this tutorial: http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series-tutorials/workflow/tutorial/tutorial.html, worked for me.

Pablo Vásquez.

Hi Stacy,

It is never a good idea to fiddle with alfresco OOTB files as they might change on newer version thereby overriding your changes if you upgrade. It is highly recommended that you build your own custom files, or use those in the shared folder.
