Does engine plan to support loopDataOutputRef?

[mscai]

It seems Activiti engine doesn't support "loopDataOutputRef" and "outputDataItem" in "multiInstanceLoopCharacteristics".

I am just wondering if Activiti engine plans to support "loopDataOutputRef" and "outputDataItem". If it does, when?

Thank you.

It's currently not planned, nor is it planned for the near future.

What is your use case?

I use multiple instances Call Activity to invoke sub-workflow.  There is one variable "RETURN" in sub-workflow. This variable is hoped to return to the main workflow.

This requirement is not critical. I would workaround it.

Ok I understand. I dont believe it will be implemented soon, so using a workaround (eg with listeners or something alike) will be the best.
