New Activity - capture custom field?

[Guest Paul Alexander]

Hi

I'm taking a look at the new 'experimental' Activities and am trying to capture data from a task and adding that data to a custom field.

Here are my settings:

 

 

 

But when I then try to find the data from h_custom_p in the ticket, it's not there. 

Am i doing something wrong? Or is there another way of getting this information from the Activity? 

 

thanks

Hi @Paul Alexander,

The data is saved against the actual task. So if you open the task after completing it (could be from the request itself) you will see the answers.

Thanks,

Daniel.

Thanks @Daniel Dekel

How do I get these results and use them from a later node in the BPM please?

thanks

Hi @Paul Alexander you can't use field mapping in the task custom question field id, however you can still get what you need.

After your task node, if you use the Variable Picker on say the update request > custom field you can find the relevant task, and under the task in the details you will see your custom questions which you can then inject or overwrite into the custom field, or any other update option

In addition you can also evaluate the answer to custom questions from tasks in Custom Expressions by again using the variable picker to choose the relevant task and custom question - in my example below When to follow up with the supplier? is a custom question on a specific task

 

Hope this helps

Steve

Cheers @Steven Boardman

I didn't realise that the questions were listed......couldn't see for looking! 

That makes perfect sense now though, thank you
