Accessing Human Task output parameters

Question

Hi all.
I have encountered a problem that I find to be
quite irritating. I have already searched the
forum, and read through the threads regarding
this topic, but still haven't been able to solve
the issue.
I have a simple type String variable
({[http://www.w3org/2001/XMLSchema]}string)
called "myName".
First, I'm initializing this variable with the
String "none":
{color:#333333}<assign name = "setVariable">
<copy>
<from expression = "string('none')"/>
<to variable = "myName"/>
</copy>
</assign>{color}
Next, I'm passing this variable as an argument
to a Human Task called "provideName", that has an
modifiable attribute called "userName":
{color:#333333}<copy>
<from variable = "myName"/>
<to variable = "initateTaskInput" part = "payload" query = "/taskservice:initiateTask/task:task/task:payload/task:userName"/>
</copy>{color}
Finally, right after the Human Tasks receive activity,
I'm fetching the alleged modified value, and copy it
back to my variable:
{color:#333333}<copy>
<from variable = "provideName_1_globalVariable" part = "payload" query = "/task:task/task:payload/task:userName"/>
<to variable = "myName"/>
</copy>{color}
After deploying and starting the process, I claim the task
on the worklist interface, modify the text field next to the
label "userName" from "none" to "Tim", select "APPROVE" and
hit the "GO"-button. I get the "your request was processed
successfully"-notice, and the flow is reported to have
completed, BUT: looking at the Audit Trail, I find that the
variable "myName" actually hasn't changed it's value. It's
still "none".
What am I doing wrong? I'd be grateful for your help.
Thanks!
Tim

No, I did not. Frankly, I didn't know you had
to save the form before you submit it. I literally
tried everything, but that.
Thank you for answering both my questions, James,
I've spent ages trying to resolve these issues.
I'd promote you to Guru right away, but, alas, I
only got a mere 20 points at my disposal. Those
are yours, though.
Thanks again. :)
