How to create payload attribute to the Human Task

Question

Any examples/doco will be appriciated.

Answer 1

You open up the human task file (.task) and on the Data tab you add in whatever variables you want to pass to the human task. These can be simple XSD types such as strings, or complex objects ("Add Other Payload") which are elements which have their own .xsd file, typically Business Objects defined in the business catalog. This is how you configure the payload once the .task file has already been created.
If you have a BPMN process and you're adding a new interactive activity, then you can define the payload while you're creating the activity itself. After you drop the activity onto the process, click the implementation tab, click the green plus icon to add a new human task, then click the plus icon in the parameters section to define the payload. You can drag and drop objects defined as Process or Project data objects from the palette that appears on the right directly into the parameters section on the left. Make sure to mark them as editable if you want users to be allowed to change the values in the human task.
