How to read external configuration file in service task?

Hi @StephenOTT

Thanks for the reply !!!

So I dont want to write a script at start event instead i want to read a file placea at some external location in my script task. Script Type is Javascript.

Is there any way in which we can read external files ?

My use case is I want to assign some value to variable which is not workflow dependent and which a user can change at any point of time without changing the bpmn file.
