See this page for info on how to use cam-script to interact with process variables inside an embedded form.

I have a similar situation with a JSON list that I parse and then iterate through the entries to dynamically construct HTML for display. In my case I’m populating a div with dynamically generated form input radio buttons where the user has to select one of the entries that is submitted back with the form.

<script cam-script type="text/form-script">
  var variableManager = camForm.variableManager;
  camForm.on('variables-fetched', function() {
    var oUsersInGroup = variableManager.variableValue('oUsersInGroup');
    oUsersInGroup.forEach( function(user) {
      // update some div.innerHTML here
    }
  }

  camForm.on('submit', function() {
    // selectedUser represents the name of the radio group created above
    variableManager.createVariable({
      name: 'selectedUser',
      type: 'String',
      value: $('input:radio[name=selectedUser]:checked').val(),
      isDirty: true
    });
  }
</script>
