Graphical mode, no charset param in properties of EmailTask

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.

Although the activiti engine has support for charset other than default ascii, such as utf8, the Activiti Designer has no such param (charset) in the properties window of email task.

I tried to edit the BPMN file manually to add the following line to extensionElements of email task and save in xml mode, and deploy, it worked, but…
<activiti:field name="charset" expression="UTF-8"></activiti:field>

If I go back to graphical mode and made some modification in this mode and save again, the charset infomation in xml will be erased, this is quite frustrating for the non-ascii users.

Is there someone who can help solving this problem? I found this problem in activiti 5.7, and after activiti 5.8 was released, I updated the newest Designer but the problem still exists…

Thanks.

Did you file an issue to have it fixed from 5.7 to 5.8? I'm sure someone can add this if you file an issue. The fact that manual edits get erased is default expected behavior in Designer, please see here:
