Jeenu,

So you don't have access to the execution variables using the same methods that you would in something like a script block, however, they are still entirely available to you - and you're basically doing all the right things except for that

Note how when you're using the 'formRendered' function, you have access to form & scope; there isn't a ton of documentation on this, so I like to console.log(scope) and then explore the data and functions I have access too. Anyway, within scope you have a function called findFormFieldWithId(e, t) - you'll be able to use this to acquire the variable value you're looking for. The first value to the function should be a scope of variables, of which I found two available in the scope:

scope.currentAndHistoricFormFields
scope.allFormFields

Contrary to what you might guess, I found the 'currentAndHistoricFormFields' to contain what I was looking for, but depending on where you're setting the "adhocflag" it could be in either (or both). Play around with that to see how Activiti scopes variables inside of 'scope'.

scope.findFormFieldWithId(scope.currentAndHistoricFormFields, 'adhocflag')); << Finds the object value of adhocflag

Within that object, look for fields like .type/.id/.name and then find the one that suit your use case.

So you should be able to do (or something like it):

if (scope.findFormFieldWithId(scope.currentAndHistoricFormFields, 'adhocflag')).value != null){
   var wrongdateflag;
   var txt;
   var r = confirm("A review for this Review Period date already exists. Do you wish to continue?");
   if (r == true) {
      console.log("You pressed OK!")
   } else {
      console.log("You pressed Cancel!")
      return false;
   }
}

For context about what I did for setting variables, I just ran a:
execution.setVariable("adhocflag", "this is a value");
in a script task prior to the form I was messing with.

Hope this helps,
-JEarles

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for the reply. I was able to access a form field in the JavaScript following the explanation you provided.

But when I need to access a execution variable that was declared elsewhere like in a service task, the script is not able to do so. What do I do in such a situations?

Regards,

Jeenu
