List Form Properties in API doesn't work

[timleytens]

Hi

I'm writing a drupal implementation and I'm trying to get the form properties so I can render them through the drupal form API.

Request: GET /form/{taskId}/properties
returns only an emty data array {"data": []}

The taskId is correct cause it fails on wrong id's and the rendered html form can be returned…

How do you define your form-properties on your task? Can you post your user-task definition?

I'm using the build in expense note example.

The built-in example doen't use formproperties, it uses the built-in html from-rendering:

[timleytens]

Isn't it possible to give properties to every form, because every form you now make through the kickstarter doesn't have them…
And for 3rd party implementation i can't do anything with an already rendered form.

The plan is to switch to form-properties as default way of rendering. The examples shipped with 5.4 still use html-forms, next release, they will contain form-properties.
Also, the activiti-designer contains functionality to specify a form (since 5.4)
