[Solved] using Activiti formProperty in alfresco.

[framt]

Hello,
I am new to using alfresco.
I have been developing workflows in activiti and deploying them in alfresco.

While the routing between users works great, the form properties do not transfer over to Alfresco such as

<activiti:formProperty id="Requirement" name="Requirement" type="string" required="true"></activiti:formProperty>

The page in Alfresco will revert to the default workflow page

I am currently running alfresco enterprise 4.1.5 on the trial license.

Hello,

Activiti form properties are of no relevance to Activiti workflows running in Alfresco. The user interface and runtime data are all based on an Alfresco specific data model definition.
Please have a look at the wiki article <a href="http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Workflow_with_Activiti">Workflow with Activit</a> and a step-by-step description in <a href="http://jmuras.com/blog/2012/creation-of-workflow-in-alfresco-using-activiti-step-by-step/">this blog post</a> for starters.

Regards
Axel

You saved me a lot of time I would have spent troubleshooting that feature.
