From what I saw in source was

private String getFormKey(TaskDefinition taskDefinition) 
    {
        TaskFormHandler handler = taskDefinition.getTaskFormHandler();
         if(handler != null && handler instanceof DefaultTaskFormHandler)
         {
             // We cast to DefaultTaskFormHandler since we do not configure our own
             return ((DefaultTaskFormHandler)handler).getFormKey().getExpressionText();
         }
         return null;
    }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Handler has null value for formKey.

((DefaultTaskFormHandler)handler).getFormKey() == null

There should be only one Workflow started: Workflow example/tutorial used from ECM Architect (http://ecmarchitect.com/images/articles/alfresco-workflow/advanced-workflow-article-2ed.pdf)

Hi, 

is the problem solved please ?

[owerfelli]

Hi, 

I solved the problem,

you must put in your bpmn

activiti:formKey="xx:xxxxx"

and add config with condition="activiti$your_bpmn-name" to share-config.xml
