Hi, I am new to Alfresco and this Forum. I am following the guide by Jeff Potts on http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series
I am on the “Creating Custom Advanced Workflows in Alfresco" section now.
The problem is that my custom workflow, which is published in Alfresco Share, but unable to start.
The reason is that there is a form with required fields in the start event but it is not shown at all

Here is my code:
Share-config-custom:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="activiti$helloWorldUI">
      <forms>
         <form>
            <field-visibility>
               <show id="bpm:workflowDescription" />
               <show id="packageItems" />
               <show id="scwf:helloName" />
               <show id="transitions" />
               <show id="bpm:status" />
            </field-visibility>
            <appearance>
               <set id="" appearance="title" label-id="workflow.set.general" />
               <set id="items" appearance="title" label-id="workflow.set.items" />
               <set id="progress" appearance="title" label-id="workflow.set.task.progress" />
               <set id="other" appearance="title" label-id="workflow.set.other" />                   
               <field id="bpm:workflowDescription" label-id="workflow.field.message">
                  <control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/textarea.ftl">
                     <control-param name="style">width: 95%</control-param>
                  </control>
               </field>
               <field id="packageItems" set="items" />
               <field id="scwf:helloName" set="other" />
               <field id="bpm:status" set="progress" />
            </appearance>
         </form>
      </forms>
    </config>

GUI in the instruction_2.png

The attachments are my Share and the Share in the instruction. There is a name field in the instruction but no in mine. When I click start, it will say missing scwf:helloName.

Any suggestion?

Thanks
