I've tried the same with an very simple process (startevent-usertask-endevent) with the same result.

Project details:

Hi,

Which version of Activiti are you using?
Since version 5.7 we use form properties and forms are not supported anymore in the Activiti Explorer.
You can read more about form properties in the user guide.

Hi,
and thanks for the reply. (I'm using activiti 5.9.)
Is there an easy way to extend the layout of the string propertie? My intention is to hava a field like "reason" where i can type some text into and use it later in an email context, but the layout of the string is not large enough (a textbox would be greate 😉 )

regards,
Max

Explorer allows you to plug in custom property types. You should easily use a Vaadin TextArea instead of a text box for this.

Look at org.activiti.explorer.ui.form.UserFormPropertyRenderer and /activiti-webapp-explorer2/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/activiti-ui-context.xml to see how to hook in custom property type an it' rendered.

HI,

I am not able to display the forms in activiti explorer.
The process that i followed is:
1)built the project using ant.
2)the .bar file got created.(bar file contains the bpmn20.xml and .form files as well)
3)Uploaded this bar file in activiti but the form is still not displayed.

Have i missed out any step..?
I have checked the path of the form files in bpmn20.xml file to be correct as well.

Please help!!

Regards,
Moushmi

As I said, the ".form" file approach is NOT supported anymore since 5.7 in activiti explorer. Read the user guide about the new approach (form-properties)
