Variable update problem for parallel human tasks

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

Hi all,

I have a process as following with parallel tasks.

process
process1248×406 17.4 KB

We are not using camunda cockpit and tasklist and we have an external application for task list operations. On this application for human task detail, different pages can be used, firstly we planned to keep this task detail page info as a variable and on process definition the process developer sets this variable’s value with groovy script task listener on task creation event. It works for serial human tasks but when it comes to parallel human tasks that requiring different page info, it fails. What is the best practise for this kind of requirements?

Thanks

Hi @alimercetin,

I would try to use the formkey to provide information about the form instead of a variable.

Maybe fill just a key and access the form details from some other resource (database, classpath, …?) with the help of the key.

More information can be found here: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.14/reference/bpmn20/tasks/user-task/#forms

Hope this helps, Ingo
