Create a base type having parent as bpm:workflowTask in custom workflowModel.xml, define the properties for the type.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>2. For all your workflow tasks, instead of having parent as bpm:workflowTask now use the base type you have just defined.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>3. The properties you have defined will be now available across all the workflow tasks throughout the workflow.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>4. Setting up the values for the property can be controlled through tasklistener classes depending upon your requirement.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 15 Apr 2014 04:14:00 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/workflow-level-variable/m-p/287519#M240649 romschn 2014-04-15T04:14:00Z
