How to use external form?

Flowable Application
1

I’m using the flowable-modeler to define processes. So how can I associate a UserTask with an external form? Thanks

Hi Ziwen,

org.flowable.bpmn.model.UserTask#formKey is only plain string. It is up to you whether you store there reference to the external form. Your task app has to recognize this external form reference.

Thanks for your reply. So if I understand it correctly, in the flowable modeler application, if you fill the formKey property of a task, the flowable application only knows the name of the formkey but nothing else.
It is my own job to use this formkey to get whatever I want.

Exactly. flowable-task application can resolve this key and display related form. If you want to change this behaviour it is up to you.
