Sorry, ignore example above, I need it in the process definition XML itself. You say we can add and ref stuff in the xml, but how exactly? By taking apart the entire xml and getting it from there or ? I need some form of [variable name="extra"]Test Data here[/variable] But then easily get this information later, when I display a list fo these processes in the web console.
