Form Properties with expressions

[german_tejero]

When using properties of forms in user tasks with expressions, when I get the value of the property, this is obtained from the expression. But when sending a new value to the property, this is not propagated back to the expression. Is there any way?

For example:

<activiti: formProperty id = "pname" name = "pname" type = "string" expression = "#{person.name}" />

Hi,

Could you please explain what you mean with 'sending a new value to the property'?

When I run:

Map <String, String> properties = new HasMap <> ();
properties.put ("pname", "test");
formService.submitTaskFormData (taskid, properties);

The value of property "pname" is not propagated to the expression # {person.name}

Sorry for my poor English.

Could you try and reproduce this behaviour in a unit test?
Because what you're describing should work.
As stated here;

"Form property street will be mapped to Java bean property street in process variable address as a String"
