Hi Mits,
My main questions are two:
1-why the code:


 <startEvent id="request" activiti:initiator="employeeName">
      <extensionElements>
        <activiti:formProperty id="numberOfDays" name="Number of days" type="long" value="1" required="true"/>
        <activiti:formProperty id="startDate" name="First day of holiday (dd-MM-yyy)" datePattern="dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm" type="date" required="true" />
        <activiti:formProperty id="vacationMotivation" name="Motivation" type="string" />
      </extensionElements>
    </startEvent>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

from the "VacationRequest" process, works fine in the activiti stand-alone engine.
but it doesn't work in the activiti engine whithin alfresco?

2- then, the only/easiest way to do that (custom forms) is by edit the files:
/alfresco/WebContent/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/workflow/workflowModel-custom.xml
/share/WebContent/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/share-workflow-form-config.xml
…and so on

thx for the help.
