Creating Custom Tasks

Add the "CM Multipurpose Start" snippet to the top of the first page of your form. There's no need to edit any of the fields.

Advanced Feature - Case Process Variables

The snippet includes a caseProcessVars variable field. The field's default function is used to fetch process variables from the parent case that the task is started from. The limitTo array lets you enter the names of process variables that you would like to be available in your task. Do not leave this array blank or all variables will be retrieved. For example:

{
    processName: 'casemanagementv1',
    businessKey: helper.queryFieldValue('CASEBUSINESSKEY'),
    limitTo: ['form_SITE']
}

The variables you request are returned in a server-side form variable:

caseProcessVars = {
    "form_SITE": "Plymouth"
}Which could be used in the default functions of other fields on your page:

function(helper, defaultValue, currentValue) {
    var theValue;
    if (currentValue !== undefined) {
        theValue = currentValue;
    } else {
        theValue = helper.getVariable('caseProcessVars.form_SITE');
    }
    return theValue;
}
