Hi All,

I have created a customWorkFlow model and created custom workflow and configured the form in "share-config-custom.xml" with my custom properties, but still it  doesn't retrive the values which I set during the workflow creation.

My custom WorkFlow Model.

Aren't you missing the properties in type "hcwf:activitiReviewTask"? You have set them in start task but they are missing from the review task. I'm not sure if you need to define them again but I do think so. Perhaps worth of a try at least.

As I understood your question, you wanted to carry some values from the start workflow page to edit task pages.
If this is correct, you need a change a bit on the model. You need to group, these kind of fields into aspect and make then as mandatory aspects.

In the share-form-config.xml, just include the fields, as normal.
This way, you can share the values across tasks within the workflow.

Please let me know, if you need additional information on this.
