Custom types in activiti 6

[deperbe]

Hello, I'm testing the new angular interface and it's pretty cool.

I'd like to know if it's possible to handle custom types.

Any information would be helpul

Depends on what you mean with 'custom types' 🙂 There are various different types in Activiti that can be plugged …

Sorry, but I  didn't specify
I mean a new form property, such as you wrote about it in this link : http://www.jorambarrez.be/blog/2013/03/13/creating-a-new-form-property-in-activiti/

I'm thinking something like a combobox loaded from database, or other types like  grids.. I don't know how flexible (or difficult) could it be.

Thanks again

It's possible, but it's currently quite a bit of javascript here and there. When it's all stable we'll document how to add these things to the modeler. Hopefully that's soon 🙂

That would be really useful to allow adding controls like a combobox getting collection of values from DB. Fingers crossed for changing "soon" to some date. BTW, while testing Beta UI I have found some bugs which I reported in JIRA, but there seems to be no component for Activiti App to be selected. Can it be added so that issues are correctly linked?

[jbarrez]

Valid point. Passed the message to the person who can do these things.

Thanks

FYI: it's done.

Thanks and I added proper component now to my remaining JIRA issues. Thanks for closing several of them already.
