Q&A

Dear All,

I want to query the actor / user names on the form to make a senior member select a name from that list at the time of task assign.

Kindly guide.

Thanks & regards,

In order to query organization information you need to use the Identity API.
Identity API is available using the Java client or using REST.

I create a simple example to illustrate:

  • usage of REST API to list users in instantiation form
  • select user id is sent (as text) to contract and store as a process variable (as long after text to long conversion in process variable default value)
  • configuration of an actor filter on the task that use the user id store in the process variable

Hi there!

Is there a way to create this drop-down list directly in a task? Because that way it only works by putting it in the pool. My problem is that I have a more complex process and I would like this drop-down list to be displayed in a certain task, the actor to be chosen from the list and then to move to another lane

To clarify you want the senior member to select who will actually have to perform a next task in the process?
Or do you want the senior member to select who need to perform a pending task?

I need the first one, the senior member will select from the list that who will perform the task.

I added an example to my original answer.
