Getting the value of a Form Outcome in a script

lsharman — Wed, 17 May 2017 23:57:05 GMT

I'm building my process using Activiti Developer. On one sequence flow condition off my exclusive gateway, I'd need a condition for: ${ formoutcome == "a value" && (processvar1 == true OR processvar2 == true) }To do this, I'm thinking that I need to write an Expression for the sequence flow

You should be able to use the "Advanced" flow condition tab (see below):

With this option you can select form outcomes as well as variables as well as conditions.

Now, your specific expression is a little more complex because of the parenthesis. For this I would use a listener to perform the processvar OR logic and create a single variable to use in the above form.

By the way, the above is from version 1.6.1.

Thanks for the response. I'm using the Advanced tab throughout my process flow, but as you noted, it doesn't support the parenthesis. I reworked my process flow to get around this issue. I also just found your post from Jan 16,2017 on using form<formid>outcome to retrieve the value of a custom outcome. For future knowledge, I'll try that in a sample flow.
