I can't seem to find anything in the documentation on how to get multi-line fields in the explorer forms. There seems to be nothing in the Designer properties as well. From what I understand html forms are no longer supported. I really don't want to use external form rendering outside the Activiti engine.
I implemented a text area field type for the Activiti in Action book. That's available in the source code of chapter 10. You can find the source code info etc at http://www.bpmnwithactiviti.org
Thanks, I already bought the MEAP of your book, just haven't looked at the latest update plus last time I looked at the link it was 'under construction'
You can find the implementation in the source code of chapter 10. I don't think that chapter is already released, but the source is available in the repository.
