Sam,
Yes, exactly like you said, if you use the FreeMarker templates, you
have access to the "task" variable and the "content", which is
whatever
you want it to be. If your content is a Map, we also allow access to
all the values in the Map by using the key as a variable name (just to
simplify your work if you have multiple data for one form.

Quoting sam.squire(a)paretopartners.com:
I have worked it out using the sourcecode.
To retrieve variables in forms from your process, you can use two
Freemarker variables:
- Task is for human task information fields. Take a look at the Task
class and the TaskData class to see what you can access from your
template.#
This way you can also get to your task metadata like:
${task.taskData.createdOn?datetime} would get the date the task was
created.
- Content is for your own mapped fields.
You will have to make a dataInputAssociaton that has the name of
"Content"
and use a dataInputAssociation to provide it with a HashMap of the
values
you want to be available in your template. The HashMap you put into
content is accessible by content.<keyName> from the template.
Is this the official way to do it or is there a better way?
Thanks.
Sam Squire
