Hi,  
In our flow we are updating some variable in script task and using it further in Tasks. However the changes doesn’t reflect. Only if we add intermediate timer event (let say 30S) it works.

Thanks

Hey @Tabrez,

Is the same problem occurring with 6.4.1 as well? Can you please share your XML so we can have a look at it?

Cheers,  
Filip

Hi @filiphr ,  
Thanks for your response , In the mean time I set all task to async ([Unable to get updated variable value at runtime](https://forum.flowable.org/t/unable-to-get-updated-variable-value-at-runtime/2429)) , Now it works as expected however getting user task is bit slower than before and all test cases taking longer.  
We yet to upgrade on 6.4.1

Thanks
