Hello,

I am trying to create an Activiti workflow with a custom property "purchaseDenomination".
Most of it is adapted from Jeff Potts' Activiti tutorial, following all steps of Part 1.

PROBLEM: No input is shown for my custom property on the "Start Workflow" page, despite configuring it to appear in tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml :

  <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="activiti$process3">
    <forms>
      <form>
        <field-visibility>
          <show id="bpm:workflowDescription" />
          <show id="packageItems" />
          <show id="nicowf:purchaseDenomination" />
          <show id="transitions" />
        </field-visibility>
        <appearance>
          <set id="" appearance="title" label-id="workflow.set.general" />
          <set id="items" appearance="title" label-id="workflow.set.items" />
          <set id="other" appearance="title" label-id="workflow.set.other" />
          <set id="response" appearance="title" label-id="workflow.set.response" />
          <field id="bpm:workflowDescription" label-id="workflow.field.message">
            <control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/textarea.ftl">
              <control-param name="style">width: 95%</control-param>
            </control>
          </field>
          <field id="packageItems" set="items" />
          <field id="nicowf:purchaseDenomination" set="other" />
          <field id="transitions" set="response" />
        </appearance>
      </form>
    </forms>
  </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Here is how it is rendered:

Why is the purchaseDenomination field not appearing?

I switched from Ubuntu 2011.04 Alfresco Community 4.0.0 32bit → Ubuntu 2012.04 Alfresco Enterprise 4.0.1 64bit

And for some reason, it works on the 64bit machine… same files still do not work on the 32bit machine.

It is still a mystery, but I guess I can mark the topic as solved.
Cheers!
