Procedure for changing context attributes of an UI already mapped in a Task

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a problem. I've used the auto-generate UI feature of a BPM Task. This creates a WD component with a view with all the context attributes selected in the step. I've customized this view for being more user friendly.

However, I 've found that I need to add new attributes to the WD UI that I have to send to the BPM mapping.

First, I've added the attributes in the .XSD of the BPM Project. What I have to do in the WD Project for adding the new attributes to the context for make them appear in the BPM mapping screen?

Thanks

Regards

you have to add the attribute at web dynpro side, although initially the ui is generated based on xsd.

xsd will change accordingly when you reimport the UI.

Hello John,

Thanks for your response. I've made the changes in the WD context in the same node that was automatically created by the UI generation feature.

Then, I've built and deployed the WD Project. After that, I'm going to the BPM task details and I've reimported the UI component succesfully. However, the new attribute doesn't appear. (I think is because in the WD context is not mapped to anything).

So I think I have to reimport the BPM context in the WD Project for enable the mapping procedure. But, how I can reimport the new attributes of the BPM in the WD Project? The WD Project doesn't have a BPM context Model for doing a reimport (as I can do it with wsdls).

Thanks & Regards

Did you add the attribute at interface controller?
