Set Business Process Variables - Invoked Workflow

Forms Workflow Version 10
Updated January 7, 2016
asked on January 7, 2016

Hi,

Is it possible to use the Set BP Variables activity in an invoked Workflow if the Parent Workflow is started by Forms?

It's possible to Retrieve Laserfiche Forms Content and specify an Instance ID & Submission ID, is it possible to do something similar?

Many thanks,

Dom

Unfortunately, no. Forms does not currently support setting variables on an arbitrary process instance. Workflow can only send data back to Forms on the workflow completion message. You may notice that the description of the activity says "Sets an output parameter with variable values that will be processed by Laserfiche Forms when this workflow completes." So this only works when the workflow is started by Forms and the service task activity in Forms is set to wait for the workflow completion.

What you can do, is set the first workflow to wait for the invoked one. The invoked workflow can pass output parameters to the parent workflow, which in turn, can send them back to Forms when it completes.
