Hi everyone,

I have a running process that includes a responsive form, but I have to change some fields in the form without stopping the instance. Do you know if it's possible or not?

#BonitaForm
#UIDesigner
#2022.1

This one is the BEST answer!

Hello
Just go to Administrator -> BPM -> Process -> Select your Process -> go to More ( top right corner ) -> Go to form List -> Select the form you want to update -> upload a new form .

Just make sure you have the same contract else you may get contract violation error.

Regards

Hi

Thanks for your answer. I just have a couple of follow-up questions if you can answer them. In our case, we would like to add a new contract on the form and add a new task in the process model which uses the newly added contract information without stopping the instance. So it should be also possible to update the process model while running too. Do you know if both of these are possible?

Because we already started the process with all the stakeholders and didn't want to duplicate or terminate since there will be a time and data loss.

Hello
If you make any changes to the process, then you need to redeploy the Process bar file again.
What you can do is, change the process version. Deploy the process with new version number and disable the Old Process.
Hence all the cases started with old process will continue as it is and all new cases will follow the new process. There will be no loss of Data.
P.S - ( But Old cases will continue to follow old process not new )

I am not sure if you can add Tasks or change contracts for an existing / running process. It may not be allowed.
You may be required to deploy a newer version of the same process.
