I am using Activiti 5.11 ,and i have some expectation such like , i want to attach pdf file with start event, and use that file in next user task for approve or rejection .
So please , what kind of things i can do here, i don't want to use CMIS Alfresco for this,just want to use activiti explorer.
Create a custom form-type (search forum for UserType and UserFormTypeRenderer) that allows uploading a file and stores this in a process-variable as byte-array. This can be use later on.
Or, you can leverage the Attachment-principle in the explorer and use that.
