Can Camunda query DataBase

Camunda 8 Topics Discussion & Questions
1

I see that Camunda 8 does not support Database object in the Zeebee WorkFlow architecture. (Correct me if I am wrong)

Have a query on the below use case:
A Custom Application UI Form needs to query the DB based on which it will decide whether a part of the form needs to be displayed or not.
How can this be achieved in Camunda?
Can the Workflow Engine receive the request from UI and query the DataBase to retrieve the result.

Thanks,
Saju

Hello @Saju_John_Sebastian1 ,

I have already created a solution for this problem.

It contains a backend for your frontend that merges data from the process engine with your business data when loading a user task.

I hope this helps

Could you share me some samples to understand this solution better.

Please feel free to come back to me if you have any questions.
