Oh and just for the record, this also works:


<scriptTask id="setIdentifier" scriptFormat="groovy">
    <script>
        def local = application
        local.identifier = "123"
        application = local
    </script>
</scriptTask>

mmm, it must be something groovy specific then, because the engine doesnt do any copies.

I'm encoutering the same problem with a javascript task : http://forums.activiti.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2394
I think the problem is that the object is updated only if there is an affectation (with the sign = ) in the script.
