Hi,

I am wondering if there is anyway in Webscript (Javascript) to set a workflow task property?

For instance if I want to change bpm:comment to "Test", what would be the Javascript code for it?

I tried doing

var task.workflow.getTaskById(<id>);
task.properties['bpm:comment'] = "Test";
‍‍‍‍

That didn't work.  I was only able to read but not write to the property.

Any suggestion or comment is appreciated.

Thanks

I'm not sure because I am a beginner but I think the correct code is like this:

task.parameters['bpm:comment'] = "Test";‍

As this example (used for starting a workflow instance):

var workflow = actions.create("start-workflow");
workflow.parameters.workflowName = "jbpm$ep:document";
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDescription"] = "description: you can write everything";‍‍‍

But I repeat… I'm not sure…try reading the workflow javascript apis…
