This information was very useful. Is it written somewhere in the Flowable documentation?

I started by looking at http://www.flowable.org/docs/userguides/userguide-form/index.html but found no references to form outcomes. (there ís actually no documentation at all regarding the modeler or task apps on that page)

Using 6.8.1 Flowable open source and following @PHH suggestion above.

org.flowable.common.engine.impl.de.odysseus.el.tree.TreeBuilderException: Error parsing ‘${form_myform_outcome == “Reject”}’: lexical error at position 25, encountered invalid character ‘“’, expected expression token

Just wanted to say that making it single quotes instead of double worked. Just in case someone is looking for a solution
