(No message) in My Tasks dashboard above task

[azivotic]

I have a problem with passing message to user when he gets task in his My Tasks list. My previous process definition uses something like this:

<userTask id="preparationOfProjectCharter" activiti:assignee="${bpm_assignee.properties.userName}">
<documentation>
        My message
</documentation>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

and that works fine. When user gets this task in his task list "My message" is there above task link. In mean time i upgraded from alfresco enterprise 4.0b to 4.0 and above code doesn't work any more. User gets his task, but above task says (No message). I tried in my process definition on task create listener to set bpm:description property but this also didn't fix my problem. Any idea on this?

I just set bpm_workflowDescription variable and message appears now.

Aleksandar,

How did you set the variable? I'm trying to use:

task.setVariable('bpm_workflowDescription', "BlaBlaBla");‍

But it only changes the message of the next task, not the current one, do you know how to do it?

Regards.

Aleksander,
Please post your solution to this issue.

Currently having the same problem.

The functionality seems a bit inconsistent, some times it will show the task name as title in the my tasks dashlet and some times not. So I would also be interested in knowing the correct solution for this.

Hi! I got a same problem in Alfresco 5.0 CE.

var task = workflow.getTask("activiti$36685");
var props = task.getProperties();
props["bpm:description"] = "SET MESSAGE";
task.setProperties(props);
‍‍‍‍‍‍

This code works fine in Javascript console, but if I try this code in taskListener - got error.
No info in logs. F*CK!!!

OK, go further.

When I try this code in taskListener (on create or on assignment - same result)

task.setVariable('bpm_description', 'SET MESSAGE');
‍‍‍

I still see a "(No message)"

How can I set bpm:description variable in taskListener?

Please, help!

Thanx

Works on create:

task.description = "YOUR DESCRIPTION!";

Alfresco version: 5.0.a CE
