Saving Task Form Data without completing

[teinacher]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is any possibility to save the task form data without completing the task. So far, I have only seen

submitTaskFormData(String taskId,  Map<String, String> properties)‍

in FormService and

complete(String taskId, Map<String, Object> variables)‍

in TaskService, both methods completing the task.

saveTask(Task task)‍

seems to be only for newly created tasks to make them persistent.

Did I miss something or is this a feature that isn't available (yet)?

You can set the process-variables or task-local variables through the API, without completing the task:


runtimeService.setVariable(task.getProcessInstanceId(), "myVar", "someData");

taskService.setVariableLocal(task.getId(), "myVar", "someData");

Thank you. Yes of course, how could I have overlooked that…  :roll:
