      <activiti:value id="true" name="Approve" />
          <activiti:value id="false" name="Reject" />
</activiti:formProperty>

when i import bpmn file in model workspace menu in activiti explorer and deploy in activiti server .. activiti explorer only show empty combo box .

i try to export the process and found that the formproperty has changed.. into like this

Can you re-post your thread using "code" blocks between "[" and "]", seems like the forum clipped out your code-examples. If the enum-values are indeed cleared, this is an issue in the modeler and should be addressed.

Hello! I am having the same problem, here is the code of my xml

<extensionElements>
<activiti:formProperty name="defects" id="defects" required="true" type="long"/>
<activiti:formProperty name="Defects" id="defects_enum" required="true" type="enum">
<activiti:value name="With defects" id="true"/>
<activiti:value name="Without defects" id="false"/>
</activiti:formProperty>
</extensionElements>

I think it is a bug, I have tried to import a demo one, and it doesn`t appear.

Ok, same file imported from java, works perfectly. Where I report it.

I am having the same problem how can i fix it ?

frederikherema1

We have a unit-test for this, which uses:

<br> <activiti:formProperty id="direction" type="enum"><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <activiti:value id="left" name="Go Left" /><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <activiti:value id="right" name="Go Right" /><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <activiti:value id="up" name="Go Up" /><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <activiti:value id="down" name="Go Down" /><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </activiti:formProperty><br>

Can you check the deployed file (look in database) actually contains the form-property-values in XML?

avc

This is before i import the process

<code>
    <userTask id="evaluateLoanRequest" name="Evaluate loan request" activiti:assignee="fozzie">
      <extensionElements>
        <activiti:formProperty id="customerName" name="Customer Name" expression="${loanApplication.customerName}" writable="false"></activiti:formProperty>
        <activiti:formProperty id="income" name="Income" expression="${loanApplication.income}" writable="false"></activiti:formProperty>
        <activiti:formProperty id="requestAmount" name="Request loan amount" expression="${loanApplication.requestedAmount}" writable="false"></activiti:formProperty>
        <activiti:formProperty id="creditCheckOk" name="outcome of credit check" expression="${loanApplication.creditCheckOk}" writable="false"></activiti:formProperty>
   <activiti:formProperty id="direction" type="enum">
          <activiti:value id="left" name="Go Left" />
          <activiti:value id="right" name="Go Right" />
          <activiti:value id="up" name="Go Up" />
          <activiti:value id="down" name="Go Down" />
        </activiti:formProperty>
        <activiti:formProperty id="explanation" name="Explanation"></activiti:formProperty>
      </extensionElements>
    </userTask>
</code>

This is if i export the process

<code>
    <userTask id="evaluateLoanRequest" name="Evaluate loan request" activiti:exclusive="false" activiti:assignee="fozzie">
      <extensionElements>
        <activiti:formProperty id="customerName" name="Customer Name" expression="${loanApplication.customerName}"></activiti:formProperty>
        <activiti:formProperty id="income" name="Income" expression="${loanApplication.income}"></activiti:formProperty>
        <activiti:formProperty id="requestAmount" name="Request loan amount" expression="${loanApplication.requestedAmount}"></activiti:formProperty>
        <activiti:formProperty id="creditCheckOk" name="outcome of credit check" expression="${loanApplication.creditCheckOk}"></activiti:formProperty>
        <activiti:formProperty id="direction" type="enum"></activiti:formProperty>
        <activiti:formProperty id="explanation" name="Explanation"></activiti:formProperty>
      </extensionElements>
    </userTask>
</code>

Okay, so there seems to be a problem when exporting the XML. Can you create a JIRA-issue, describing this problem?

avc

where

trademak

I just tested the activiti-bpmn-converter module and it works fine there. Can it be that you open the model in the Modeler and save it there first? Because then it's an issue in the Modeler code.

Best regards,

Hi,

I have the exact same problem except I'm using Acitivi 5.13. I import a bpmn file (did NOT open it in modeler). I turn around and export it. All of the activiti:value tags disappeared. So I have empty drop down box. Any solution yet?

Thanks,

Tan

simple

Any update on this since i'm also facing the similar issue where i'm creating a simple process on start i want to give a combo box with the some defined values and then proceed the task but after deploying the process on activiti-explorer i'm getting blank combo box.
Is there anything wrong that i'm doing, below is the snippet:
Exported file does not contain any value tag, so is there any JIRA created for the issue?
Plz help
<code>
<startEvent id="startevent1" name="Start">
      <extensionElements>
        <activiti:formProperty id="tblType" name="Select type" type="enum" required="true">
          <activiti:value id="1" name="T1"/>
          <activiti:value id="2" name="T2"/>
        </activiti:formProperty>
      </extensionElements>
    </startEvent>

Unfortunately I have to report that I have this issue as well (Activiti 5.13). I\d actually say that my original issue is that Modeler does not allow me to add a form field of type "enum". It looks like a bug to me.
I've tried to export my model and manually add that field (as per the User Guide).

After importing model back and deployment the values does not appear in the drop down box and they actually disappeared from the model…
Please help.

frederikherema1

Don't think there is a jira-issue yet. Feel free to create an issue for the modeller in jura.

vreznikov

I've created Jira ( http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-1791 ) issue however please note that Jira does not have subcomponent "Modeler". It has "Designer" which I guess is Eclipse plug-in, so I've created it under "Explorer".

frederikherema1

This issue has been fixed

vreznikov

Thank you!
Any word about when Activiti 5.14 will be released (with the fix)?

frederikherema1

It will be released next week

Hi, I would like to report that the issue persists in activiti 5.17 which I am using. I create a process in Activiti Designer eclipse plugin and when I import and deploy process on activiti-explorer to load the process, the enum form property is showing an empty dropdown box.

dimitarkostakev

I have just tested the process import with this simple process and the issue persists :

<process id="dropDownTaskProcess" name="drop down task process" isExecutable="true">
    <startEvent id="startevent1" name="Start"></startEvent>
    <userTask id="usertask1" name="User Task" activiti:assignee="kermit">
      <extensionElements>
        <activiti:formProperty id="dropdown" name="Dropdown" type="enum" required="true">
          <activiti:value id="true" name="Accept"></activiti:value>
          <activiti:value id="false" name="Reject"></activiti:value>
        </activiti:formProperty>
      </extensionElements>
    </userTask>
    <sequenceFlow id="flow1" sourceRef="startevent1" targetRef="usertask1"></sequenceFlow>
    <endEvent id="endevent1" name="End"></endEvent>
    <sequenceFlow id="flow2" sourceRef="usertask1" targetRef="endevent1"></sequenceFlow>
</process>

I face the problem (having empty dropdown when using enum type) in 5.17.0 as well. How to get it patched/fixed?

skoontz006

I am having the same problem with 5.17.0 too. When do you thing this will be fixed?

fedd

Enums still don't work. The Modeler doesn't seem to have an ability for properly defining the Enums - it doesn't let enter id/name pair for each of the enum values, only values. Values don;t show after deployment, the exported bpmn doesn't contain them as well

jbarrez

Guys, relax. There are other people, who see the issue and send a pull request: https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti/pull/554
It will be checked and merged if deemed good.

suseno

Hi ,

Is there any progress about the issue above ?

jbarrez

Um, yes. If you follow the link I posted above you'll see it's merged into the master branch.

Hi,

Regarding this problem, I noticed that it breaks up in two issues:

1) Bug: losing Enum Form values when converting the bpmn from json to xml. This is indeed reported and resolved (#554), and it's gonna be included in Activiti 6

2) Missing Feature : The Activiti designer will not allow to set the `id` for Enum Form Properties. As it is now, it only allows to set the `name` attribute.
KarnYong also mentioned about this Problem in #554.
So is this issue reported, or should I report it?

jbarrez

The designer issue could be a jira issue specifically for the Designer project.

Issue still exists in 5.19.0.2. I'm using alfresco editor and when I download the generated xml it always removes defined enum values from the enum form properties. However when I define the enum values manually (outside the alfresco editor) it does work.

But when I upload my manually altered xml to alfresco it always remove the enum values from the enum form properties.

for example:
Before upload to alfresco:

<activiti:formProperty id="decision" type="enum" required="true">
<activiti:value id="accept" name="Accept"/>
<activiti:value id="decline" name="Decline"/>
</activiti:formProperty>

After upload to alfresco:

<activiti:formProperty id="decision" type="enum" required="true"/>

Is there an alternative editor which I can use or some workaround to make it work in the editor?
