BPM: Howto access user tasks in a multi-instance subprocess?

[hi-ko]

How could I access the outcome of a user task in a following script task? In a normal process I found a work around to run a sub-process to get the resolution or resolutionnote from it's parent but in a multi-instance process I can not create a new sub-process.
Maybe there is a more straight forward way to get a user task and it's outcome within a script task or do I need to hassle with something like record\findOne to get a task of the current process?

As an option, you can diverge flows based on resolution right after the user-task node (no formula needed). Then in diverged flows you can set a variable, then converge.

Thanks yuri. The task is available in a gateway decision, but how would i get access to the task resolutionNode later in the flow? I would like to post this on the entity stream and make it available as a variable in the email notification ...

Right click on the User Task node > Inspect. Copy its ID. See the screenshot. Then in formula:

$resolutionNote = bpm\createdEntity\attribute('e6cmwnd894', 'resolutionNote');

what if the system would generate an ID for a created Task User just like when creating a new record the system append an identifier to the new crated record. would that work so this way later in the flow if i want to access the data of the User Task i would just provide id to the formula function and i can get any attribute of the Task User, also this will be helpful if a flow chart has more than 1 User Task.

The current functionality works, values can be obtained. No need to change here, as it will cause problems.

cool - thanks yuri! (I was just trying something similar by getting the id directly from the db and then querying the task record ...)

[hi-ko]

I can confirm: the trick with bpm\createdEntity\attribute works like a charme.

Thanks again!

I'll make this ID available on the UI (for User Task and for Send Message Task).

Thanks that would be really helpful
