An instance (or subclass) can be set on the processEngineConfiguration. You can create a custom instance of that class that actually uses the formValues that get passed in on the FormProperty instead of relying on the "default" mechanism of getting a type, which is a lookup based on type-id.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 22 May 2013 06:15:42 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/custom-formtype-help/m-p/141862#M99350 frederikherema1 2013-05-22T06:15:42Z
