So it's not only a question of the export, it also doesn't execute as I expect it to do.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>b) When I add the resultVariable="testVar" attribute manually to the file, execute the Activiti Engine in a unit test, deploy the process definition and execute it, it runs fine. The variable is set and can be used in expressions.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>c) When I upload the modified file in the Activiti Explorer, deploy the process and start it, the variable is *not* set. The process fails if I use the testVar variable in an expression later in the process.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Am I doing something fundamentally wrong or is there a bug somewhere?</SPAN><BR /></BODY></HTML> Fri, 07 Jun 2013 09:33:09 GMT kuehly 2013-06-07T09:33:09Z Service task: result variable name is lost on export https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/service-task-result-variable-name-is-lost-on-export/m-p/138722#M97243 I'm playing around with service tasks and stumbled over the following issue.
