start event fields is not accessible

[chhipa]

Hi,

I am new to Activiti and facing some problems in it. I am using eclipse designer.

I am adding a field at start event and later on I want to use its value on my user form. - The intent is to add some process variables to the template at the start of workflow.

when I try to fetch its value at user form I got no result. Could you please suggest me how I can achieve this.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

What kind of field at the start event are you referring to? What's the BPMN XML of this start event?
You could use a data object instead, because that will be stored as a process variable and can be used to populate a field on a user task form.

The idea is to supply process variables to the template. These will be static values effective for the template. We do add process variables pro grammatically when starting the process. But these process variables will be provided at design time through designer. Data-objects allows me to add process variables in bpmn xml, but we want this option via the designer. I was trying to use the Form properties (in eclipse designer )at Start event to supply the process variables, it got added as extension variable :

I am attaching a xml as a text document.

But when I tried to use these variable in the form, it was not effective.

Thanks for your reponse
