Hi All,
We are using Self-managed Camunda 8.
Can we use Embedded Forms (html) in Camunda 8 like in Camunda 7, and if yes, how to deploy it?
Hi,
This is not yet possible. As a workaround, you could create a form that links to an external html form. Why do you want to use a html form? Are you missing Elements in Camunda 8 forms or are there other reasons?

Hi,
How can we create a form that links to external html?
We need to use html forms as we need to upload and download files which is not available in Camunda forms.
Also, we have an issue with buttons with action “Submit”, they don’t appear in Camunda forms as there is a property called display which is overwritten by the “Complete Task” button I guess.
Thanks,
Can you please help?
Hi @yasmeenhesham,
it is currently not possible to use HTML forms in Camunda 8 Tasklist.
If you implement your own Tasklist, you can use a custom form key to identify your HTML form. However, retrieving and rendering that form must be handled by your custom tasklist. It must also handle completing the task.

Thanks for your reply.
So as per my understanding, if I want to make headless process to make the screens/tasks outside Camunda, for example, if I will implement my frontend using Angular and want Camunda Process to just create the task, so I should use the Custom form key or none form just to create this task so that I can manage it using Task APIs, right?
Also, please share with me any example, documentation, tutorial… on how to use the custom form key if any.
Thanks for your support,
Yasmeen
Yes, that is correct. The user task is necessary for the task instance to be created.
Write your own application with your custom forms and complete the task via the API.
There are some custom Tasklist examples in the community hub github repository:
