Hell Activiti-Community,I have a little problem with the HistoryService and HistoricFormProperties.According to the User Guide this Query:historyService.createHistoricDetailQuery() .formProperties() .processInstanceId("123") .orderByVariableName().asc() .list()‍‍‍‍‍‍‍should get […] all form-prop

So you're saying that start-form properties aren't recorded in history, but task-form-properties are? Seems strange, normally, when historyLevel=full, ALL form-properties should be recorded.

We have a test that validates this:

http://svn.codehaus.org/activiti/activiti/tags/activiti-5.0/modules/activiti-engine/src/test/java/org/activiti/standalone/history/FullHistoryTest.java


  Map<String, String> formProperties = new HashMap<String, String>();
    formProperties.put("formProp1", "Activiti rocks");
    formProperties.put("formProp2", "12345");
    
    ProcessDefinition procDef = repositoryService.createProcessDefinitionQuery().processDefinitionKey("historicFormPropertiesProcess").singleResult();
    
    ProcessInstance processInstance = formService.submitStartFormData(procDef.getId() , formProperties);

   … 

 // 4 historic form properties should be created. 2 when process started, 2 when task completed
    List<HistoricDetail> props = historyService.createHistoricDetailQuery()
      .formProperties()
      .processInstanceId(processInstance.getId())
      .orderByFormPropertyId().asc()
      .list();
    
    HistoricFormProperty historicProperty1 = (HistoricFormProperty) props.get(0);
    assertEquals("formProp1", historicProperty1.getPropertyId());
    assertEquals("Activiti rocks", historicProperty1.getPropertyValue());
   …

Thank you for your answer. I found the problem.
I have been using


runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("key", processVariables);

to start the process and expected it to work like


formService.submitStartFormData(definition.getId(), processVariables);

So I changed that method call, when trying to start the process, and now everything works just fine.
