attribute storage "Task Reference"

[richard_pietsch]

Hi all,
how does the task reference work?

I was wondering if I could use an attribute with storage setting "task reference" (and type "refferal attribute) to link to another task id (form). So, I set "refferal" under presentation settings. In the form I define a value for this attribute (its the ID of the other form/task). However, when its running in browser the link refers to an ID store entry.. the URL is something like "/DisplayEntry?TaskId=0&EntryType=0&EntryId=1418"... I thought it will referrence to a task not an entry "...TaskId=1418&EntryType=..."

Regards, RP

Hi Richard,

the intention of this attribute type is not to open a form but to link a process (in 7.2 they were called tasks) to an object. For example a validate add task to a privilege or role. Reason is that the presentation and value help is special and it also needs to be handled differently by transport mechanism and when resolving the value at runtime.
