how to connect a new business objects instance with an existing object instance

Q&A
1

Hi,

I’m fairly new to Bonita BPM and worked through getting started tutorials.
I practiced with forms that allowed me to create business object instance who themselves have aggregate object instances of another type.

Now I’m wondering if it is possible to connect a new business object instance to existing(!) aggregate object instances of another type. And if this is indeed possible, how to do this …

Thanks in Advance,
Ferry

Hi Ferry,

I think this following example can help you with your question: https://github.com/Bonitasoft-Community/aggregated-bdm-example

Hi Lio,

Thanks for your reply.
However, the example does not provide an answer to my question:

it lets you create a MainObject that contains a list of Items
However both MainObject and list Items are created in the same process
I was looking for a way to create MainObject but then relate it to a list of existing(!) Items.

Having said that, my imaginary use case was a class that has students.
For this use case I have found another solution

Ferry
