I want add new attribute to formProperty

[macklane]

Currently following attributes are supported in Activiti formProperty

name
expression
variable
type
defaultExpression
datePattern
readable
writeable
required

I want to add one more custom attribute for formProperty called as "customData", where I can keep any custom data in json format and use it where required. I want to extent any formProperty to have information like layout, styles, permissions etc. So that at the time of renderring or processing I can use this information.

I was looking at classes :
org.activiti.bpmn.model.FormProperty, FormPropertyHandler, FormPropertyParser etc.

But I still need some guidance on this.

Hi,

you could create a custom form property.
There are several other forum posts regarding this. Or take a look at this excellent blog from Joram; http://www.jorambarrez.be/blog/2013/03/13/creating-a-new-form-property-in-activiti/
