Hi
I’m trying to create a working scenario where an external event processed by the camunda-external-task-client-js lib passes an array of objects (containing invoices for example) to a multi-instance which would then process each invoice individually.
Firstly is it possible
If possible === true then …
I do get an error indicating that item is not a collection. I just don’t know how to resolve it.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

The variable you send back from the worker need to be a collection and then it will loop around from each element in that collection.
Hi Niall. Been watching you train this week in the the HPI course I’m busy with Thanks !
How do I create a collection when using Javascript ?
I’m doing something like this…
const collection = [{},{},{}]
const myVariable = new Variables();
processVariables.set('item', collection)
taskService.complete(task);
The error I receive is notifying me that item is not of type collection.
Hi @Shaun_Botsis Were you able to resolve this issue. ? I am also stuck with a similar thing.
Hi, I figured it out and was able to solve it.
My Json collection looks like something below
[ {
"projectName": "Sample Project",
"designerId": "12345",
"summary": [
{
"attribute": "Test 123",
"passfail": "pass",
"successCount": "15",
"total": "15"
},
{
"attribute": "Test 456",
"passfail": "fail",
"successCount": "14",
"total": "15"
}
]
},
{
"projectName": "Sample Project 2",
"designerId": "65457",
"summary": [
{
"attribute": "Test 456",
"passfail": "pass",
"successCount": "15",
"total": "15"
},
{
"attribute": "Test 879",
"passfail": "fail",
"successCount": "14",
"total": "15"
}
]
}
]
External client js code where the result is JSON from the top.
let processVariables = new Variables();
processVariables.setTyped('sowcanradDataCompareList' ,{
type: "json",
value: result,
valueInfo: {}
});
await taskService.complete(task,processVariables);
This how I configured my multi-instance user task in BPMN
