Camunda 8 embedded forms

Camunda 8 Topics

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the self managed camunda 8 form creation. So far, I can create forms from the editor and attach them by pasting their json inside the camunda forms field.
How can I use the other available option “Custom form key” ??
Is it possible to use a library like “Camunda-formio” ? I have some trouble understanding this functionality.

Hello @camunda_kon ,

the form key is the binding from a user task to its form.

If you use a Camunda Form directly, you will see that in the XML, there is a form key generated that points to the actual form which is wrapped somewhere else.

Note: This is still subject to change, but for now, it serves the purpose.

However, if you plan to use a custom implementation of forms (as Camunda Forms do not suit your use case, …), you will be able to create a custom binding there.

I hope this helps

So, the simplest way to fill out the form in my react application is to:

  1. Create it using the camunda modeler.
  2. Link it to the user task with the “camunda form” option
  3. Show it in the web application using the bpmn-io/form-js (?)
  4. And finally, after filling the form in my react app, I complete the user task by using the tasklist api?

Hello @camunda_kon ,

if you link the form, you will be able to fetch it from the Tasklist API.

The rest is perfect.
