How I can use the output of a custom connector to set the initial value of a variable that can be displayed in the UI?

I have tried to assign the output to a process variable (a text I get from a external syste) but I am not able to show this value into a widget.

Is there a way I can do this using the community edition?

Thanks and regards,
Ronay.

Hi,

You can checkout this example that explain how to display (and update) a process variable in v7 forms.

Note that you might want consider to use a REST API extension. With such solution your form call the REST API extension and the REST API extension call the external system.

Also note that it is generally recommended to use business variables over process variables.
