you could configure it in share-config-custom.xml file
Where you can define control template as textarea for that property in workflow task form.

let me now if i understood you well. If I made some form customization in share, like this one, it will reflect in workdesk? This sounds pretty strange to me.

Thanks,
Joso

Hi Joso,

Customizing share-config-custom.xml won´t change behavior of property fields in Workdesk. In Workdesk you`d have to implement (or use one of the default fieldcontrols) a fieldcontrol for your use case and apply it to the property you want to display as text area. A good example and very similar is the default FieldControl OwFieldManagerControlNote (see also Workdesk Configuration Guide and in code class com.wewebu.ow.server.fieldctrlimpl.OwFieldManagerControlNote). You would configure it in owbootstrap.xml in the FieldControls node like the following example:


<FieldControls>
  <FieldControl fieldclass="com.wewebu.ow.server.fieldctrlimpl.OwFieldManagerControlNote" objecttype="D:namespace:yourObject.namespace:yourTextProperty" >
  </FieldControl>
</FieldControls>
