Custom attributes in workflows

[frankb]

Hi,

I've created a sample workflow where users can apply for a vacation between dates they can set when the workflow starts.
My question is, how do I store this attribute, and present it in the form in the review task as a infotext?

The workflowModel is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<model name="dw:workflowferiesoknadmodel" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">
   
   <description>Feriesøknad workflow</description>

   <version>1.0</version>
   
   <imports>
      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0" prefix="d" />
      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/bpm/1.0" prefix="bpm" />
      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/workflow/1.0" prefix="wf" />
   </imports>
   
   <namespaces>
      <namespace uri="workflow.feriesoknad.model" prefix="dw"/>
   </namespaces>
   
   <types>
      <type name="dw:submitFerieSoknad">
         <parent>bpm:startTask</parent>
         <properties>
            <property name="dw:ferieFra">
               <title>Ferie fra</title>
               <type>d:datetime</type>
               <mandatory>true</mandatory>
            </property>
            <property name="dw:ferieTil">
               <title>Ferie til</title>
               <type>d:datetime</type>
               <mandatory>true</mandatory>
            </property>
         </properties>
         <mandatory-aspects>
            <aspect>bpm:assignee</aspect>
         </mandatory-aspects>
      </type>
      <type name="dw:reviewFerieSoknad">
         <parent>bpm:workflowTask</parent>
         <overrides>
            <property name="bpm:packageItemActionGroup">
               <default>edit_package_item_actions</default>
            </property>
         </overrides>
      </type>
      <type name="dw:completeFerieSoknad">
         <parent>bpm:workflowTask</parent>
         <mandatory-aspects>
            <aspect>bpm:assignee</aspect>
         </mandatory-aspects>
      </type>
   </types>
</model>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and the processdefinition is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<process-definition xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1" name="dw:feriesoknadWorkflow">
   <swimlane name="initiator" />

   <task-node name="completed">
      <event type="node-enter">
         <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
            <script>
               var mail = actions.create("mail");
               mail.parameters.to =
               initiator.properties["cm:email"];
               mail.parameters.subject =
               "Review Task " + bpm_workflowDescription;
               mail.parameters.from

               mail.parameters.text=

and lastly, the config in share-config-custom.xml

What I expect is that these two custom date fields(dw:ferieFra and dw:ferieTil") also will show up in the dw:reviewFerieSoknad task, not just the dw:submitFerieSoknad task.
THe fields show up like I want in the dw:submitFerieSoknad form, but not the dw:reviewFerieSoknad.
What do I have to do to achieve this? Create a custom type, and map the workflow do this type?

Can someone please explain? thanks in advance!
