Store variables in each task

[afaraz]

I have a process which has several tasks. In each task i want to store Comments/Remarks provided by the user, Reason (Some Predefined Values (Combo)) and Action selected by the user.

I already have a user interface developed for the this. I want to pass these three values to be passes to the Activiti. I want these variables to be a part of history. so that i can retrieve these value later and show them in some History UI.

Please can you guys share some good approaches to do that.

Regards,
Faraz

use the api to store the values and set history to full to be able to retrieve them afterwards

Will this statement do that ?

taskService.setVariableLocal(taskId , variableName, variableValue);

why don't you give it a try? It's not like the world is going to blow up if it fails (even not if it works)
