Great. :)

As I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong!), information about how the user can interact with the process instance in jBPM 4 is currently meant to be provided with task forms. A reference implementation exists for the GWT console. However, I totally agree with what Sebastian stated earlier:

I might even face similar use cases right now. My thoughts right now are pretty much related to dynamic user interfaces. I especially don't like the idea of creating task specific forms for simple things like decisions where just want to the user to decide between "yes" and "no",  "A" and "B" etc.

I am not sure if this possible and if this would really make sense. Maybe you can explain your thoughts a bit more here.

Yes, me too. This might turn out be a discussion for the developers' forum. I'd love to hear one of the dev's on this. To me at first sight it seems as if this is a "quite simple" API extension which shouldn't break anything.
