How to assign Process ID and user name to script task fields in camunda

[alan fernandez]

Hi guys,

I am attempting to write a script task where I need to process ID and User name (Eg:John) to be automatically assigned to field names (Eg: John  must be assigned to field name:Loan_Identifier,
Process ID must be assigned to field name: Application_Identifier). Could anyone please advise me on what queries I must input to execute this?
I am working on Eclipse Kepler using Camunda Modeler plugin.

Kind regards,
Allan Fernandez

Hi Alan,

In your scrip task, you can use a 'special' variable called execution which gives you access to the engine API. Hence you could call execution.getVariable("name") to get the value of a process variable or execution.setVariable(name, value) to set a process variable. From the execution object you should be able to lookup the process instance id etc.

Im a bit puzzled what you meant by fields as I would normally associate fields with a form associated with a user task. hence do you mean you want to set process variables in a script task prior to displaying in a user task?

regards

Rob

Hi Rob,

Sorry about the confusion, I meant process variables in a script task. What I want is am running a script task before a user task. As part of the requirements the script task must automatically fetch the process id and the user name who has logged into Camunda Tasklist.

Thanks&Regards,

Allan Fernandez
