Hi all, i need to set the category property of a User Task at desing time, but in the eclipse plugin designer the properties of a UserTask are: Assignee, candidate users, candidate groups, formkey, due date and priority. There is no property category.
Exists a way to assign a value to that property at design time? i tried with activiti:category="test" in tag <userTask/> with no success.

Thanks.

Gustavo.

Yeah… It was not present in designer but I added in xml editor and once deployed, category 'test' reflected in corresponding new column(category) in ACT_RU_TASK for new process requests.
<userTask id="TrainExceptionWorkflowHumanTask" name="workflow human task" activiti:candidateGroups="${AssignedGroupUser}" activiti:category="test">
though you are adding activiti:category="test" to your userTask but not reflecting in db, then make sure that your activiti jar dependency versions are 5.15in your project classpath. I too eagerly waiting for updated designer version which supports to set property for category in userTask properties.
Activiti Team, Is there any plan to add property to set "category" in designer in near feature?
