Hello,

I want certain tasks to become active, if certain Attributes are set.
i.e. if a user ticks the checkbox "requiresValidation" a validationTask should be started, after the prior task is completed.

[task1] ——————-> [task2]
    |——->[validation]——-^
‍‍‍‍

In the designer, I added the following conditions to the both outgoing paths of task1:
direct path: #{!requiresValidation}
validation path: #{requiresValidation}

But this doesn't work. I assume the problem ist, that activiti is storing the value of a checkbox as a string.
I also tried #{requiresValidation eq true}

no matter what i put in there, it will ALWAYS be "true" and both tasks are started at the same time.

doing the same with a (manually) declared process variable of type boolean works.

If it is stored as a string, you probably will need to use ", eg #{requiresValidation eq "true"} or #{requiresValidation == "true"}
