As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

We are having a BPMN XML file to where we need to share the properties from startEvent in one of exclusive gateway of a user task. We tried setting the default, value and also the variable. But still it is not working and always the value is empty.

Hmm that should do it.

Are you submitting your variables correctly? How does this call into the api looks like?

Is the database table for variables ACT_RU_VARIABLE populated with the values?
