Hi,
I fighted through alfresco javascriot API. My goal is to get all
workflow-instances of my custom workflow in the system and update the actual task all of the workflows.
I could fetch the Workflowdefinition -> get the active instances and iterating through them.
I get the JscriptWorkflowPath of the actual instance and get the only task of the workflow
(by definition my workflow has only one step)
I have a JscriptWorkflowTask object, see the properties of my task and I am happy.
But when I try to update my task I got an exception below. I could figure out that task.id
contains workflowId which is obviously wrong.

How Can I update my tasks?

Do you have any workaround for my situation?

function main() {
   // get all of taskInstances
   var workflowDef = workflow.getDefinitionByName("nameOfMyWorkflow");
   
      var activeInstances = workflowDef.getActiveInstances();
   
   
   // iterate over the instances
   for (var index = 0; index < activeInstances.length; index++) {
      
      var workflowInstance = activeInstances[index];

      var workflowId = workflowInstance.id;

      
      // get the JscriptWorkflowPath object
      var paths = workflowInstance.paths;
      logger.log('paths: ' + paths );
      var workflowPath = paths[0];
   
      // get the JscriptWorkflowTask object
      var tasks = workflowPath.tasks;
      logger.log('tasks : ' + tasks );
      var task = tasks[0];
      logger.log('task : ' + task);
      
      // here we got the properties of the task
      var prop = task.properties;
      logger.log('prop : ' + prop);
 
      var taskId = task.id;
         
      prop['{http://www.alfresco.org/model/bpm/1.0}description'] = "test text";
      task.setProperties(prop);
   
    }
}
main();
