We are currently on Activiti 5.16
We have a requirement where we schedule a sequence of appointments using a multi-instance called Element. The first task in the called element is a calendar appointment, where the User visits a customer.
This task needs to be synchronized with the User's calendar . This is done be matching the due date on each visit task with a visit appointment on the User's calendar.
Each repeating appointment is matched by an instance of the called element, the called element is a sequnce of visit, documenting the visit and submitting the notes for approval.
The repeating appointments are stored by the calendar as an RFC2445 string.
The problem is figuring out the best way to set a different due date for each visit task on the multi-instance element based on the dates generated by RFC2445 calendar.
For example , if there are 4 visits scheduled, the loop cardinality in the called element will be set to 4 , and four sub-processes will be created, however the due date on each visit task must uniquely match one of the set of dates returned by the calendar.
Any advice would be appreciated on how best to pass the visit dates to the activiti engine and how to ensure each created instance gets a unique date for the due date field.
