In the script task, just do 'myVar = 'test'' and it should work.

Hi,

I have a variable named "status" in a from.
Now on next task(ScriptTask) i want to assign a value to that variable.
How to do it?
I tried like

<scriptTask completionQuantity="1" id="sid-64A7B10A-D832-4DC7-BD79-16A5BF97A624" isForCompensation="false" name="Application status &quot;onhold&quot;" scriptFormat="groovy" activiti:resultVariable="status" startQuantity="1">
         <extensionElements>
            <signavio:signavioMetaData metaKey="bgcolor" metaValue="#ffffcc"/>
         </extensionElements>
         <incoming>sid-8D20906C-5740-4007-B82B-C27F4DD3BEC0</incoming>
         <script>
def scriptVar = "applied"
    execution.setVariable("status", scriptVar)
         </script>
</scriptTask>

But my variable is not updated.
Why is it so?
How should i update an existing variable?

Thanks,
rajee

The code you show should work, afaik. Do you get an error or does the scripttask run successfully without updating the variable?

Hi ,

I didnt get any errors.
The script ran successfully without any update to the variable.
The next task i send mail using Email task.
In that i used the variable.
But in mail the variable was not present.
Neither the previous or updated value was present.
What am i missing?

Thanks
Rajee

Can you show your full process BPMN?

Hi ,

I have attached my full process bpm with this. My problem is with status.
The email layout is for testing. I also checked by assigning the status variable as a field in my next user task form. But stil the value is empty.
Check with script task id="sid-82D76613-81AC-4A7A-BF0D-FDD15CE08F00" and user task id="sid-08848121-EB04-4B47-8F77-B4AD173027BE"

Thanks,
Rajee

Re: Set value for a variable in form

I see you doing this in 2 script-tasks:


    def scriptVar = "applied"
    execution.setVariable("status", scriptVar)

Makes sense it is not updated and keeps on being "applied"…
