cannot get variables to default in when creating a task form

[denqaman]

Using eclipse 3.3, when I generate a task form, the variables that I setup when creating the task are not defaulting in. Am I missing an option setting or is it something else?

thanks!

it's not there yet.... look at the jira, there is an issue for this....

I am also using Eclipse 3.3 with jbpm-jpdl-designer-3.1.2. I click a task node, then in the properties view, click the tasks tab. I click a task defined there, and then the Details tab. When I click Generate Form..., none of the form fields or buttons are populated with the process variables that I specified using the default controller.

I'm a little confused regarding the history of this item. I checked JIRA as you suggested, which implies [1] that the form generation feature has not been completed. I note that this item was logged in July 2006 and wonder if it is still relevant or I am simply misunderstanding something.

What confuses me is others seem to be using this functionality. For example, in a chapter from "Business Process Management with JBoss jBPM" available at [2], the author clearly generated some forms using the designer.

Does anyone know if this item is planning to be fixed in a future release...or is it already working for others in a different configuration than I am using?

Thanks in advance!

- it is not working
- the planning is in the jira (if it has an 'fix version')
- others that use it manually populate it

I would also recommend using jbpm-jpdl3.2.2 suite instead of 3.1.x since some of the task nodes functionality is better in that version.

I also tried to follow the Cumberlidge book, but have reverted over to playing with the 3.2.2 websale demo and using the getting started wiki.
