Hi,I need attach a gantt chart to the begining of a process (in the "Start event"), but, in the form property, I not find a type "upload file" ¿This exist? or ¿I need create this type?. If I need program this type ¿How do I do?.Thanks for reply.

Some ideas:

1. Save your file in a separate place using a "blob store" service and pass the URL as a parameter to the submitStartFormData method. You can then use listeners and/or a a system task to create the attachment.

2. Instead of passing initial data in the start form, model you process so there is an initial human task that plays the role of the initial form. In this scenario you'd have a process instance and task ids available, so you can create one of the createAttachment() methods.

Hope this helps.

In Alfresco, we don't store the file itself in the process,b but rather a reference to the unique id within the Alfresco repository
