It should not be too difficult to modify and refactor it to work in Activiti. I don't have a need for this right now, but I've used it so many times in the past that I'm sure it will come up again soon.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 08 Dec 2010 09:41:14 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/support-for-multiinstanceloopcharacteristics/m-p/17177#M7684 walterjs 2010-12-08T09:41:14Z
