<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>My question is quite simple.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>I know that is possible to declare a Work Item Definition where some parameters are String and alike. Then the user can simply fill those parameters using the Web Designer in More properties and data assign. But I want those parameters to be already defined programmaticly.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>What I mean is this scenario:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><ul><li>User fills a form provided by my application</li><li>Work Item Definition is generated holding the data inputed</li><li>Work Item Definition is sent to guvnor through the Rest API</li><li>User designs a process using the Service Task corresponding to the previously defined Work Item Definition</li><li>Work Item Handler has access to the data inputed by the User when he/she filled the form and was holded on the Work Item Definition</li></ul><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>In fact if this worked it would be exactly what I needed:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><a class="jive-link-anchor-small">import org.drools.process.core.datatype.impl.type.StringDataType;<br/>[<br/>  // the Java Node work item located in:<br/>  // project/src/main/resources/META-INF/JavaNodeDefinition.conf<br/>  [<br/>    "name" : "JavaNode",<br/>    "parameters" : [<br/>      "UserName" : "John",<br/>    ],<br/>    "displayName" : "Java Node",<br/>    "icon" : "icons/java.gif"<br/>  ]<br/><br/>]</a></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>But unfortenly (at least to my understanding) parameter literal values can't be defined in the Work Item Definition...only what type it is...</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>As such how can I let the user define an Activity and hold data in it, place it in the Workflow using the designer and then colect data from the Work Item Definition? </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>The user shouldn't define anything else after the WID is done...meaning he/she won't be inputing data in the Service Task more properties within the designer...</p><p>all the info must be holded when the WID is generated.</p></div>
