https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-1209 I think Ronald wanted to point you to this issue which is about extending the support for expressions. This would mean that you could also use an expression to evaluate task's description. So it could be set at runtime. Please read the issue description and check if the description for tasks is planned to be included. Then comment on the issue if you have further suggestions.
