Hi,<div><br></div><div>I recently run into some problems when trying to create a simple holiday request process. </div><div>I defined process variables but I struggle to understand how to access them in Human Task. </div><div>

In my User Task ,,holiday approval&quot; I have this as a description: #{employee} requested holiday for #{length} days </div><div>I set both variables when I start the process and the result looks as expected, for example ,,John requested holiday fo 14 days.</div>

<div>But lets say I want a manager approving the holiday request to add his response as a variable. How do I do that?</div><div>I tried to use the Result mapping with someting like this: response=response but I get an error saying ,,There is no ID/IDREF binding for IDREF &#39;_2_response&#39;.</div>

<div>Also if I manage to get this running, how do I set this variable in a client app?[using WS_HT] </div><div>I am sorry if I am asking realy basic things, but I realy need some advice.</div><div>Bellow is the process definition.</div>

<div>Thanks a lot, matus</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?&gt; </div><div>&lt;definitions id=&quot;Definition&quot;</div><div>             targetNamespace=&quot;<a href="http://www.jboss.org/drools">http://www.jboss.org/drools</a>&quot;</div>
