Taskspace action config

Hello Experts,

We have a very unique requirement, please help me to achieve it.In taskspace form plain actions we have options to set input parameters and get back output parameters like in the following image.

But for other actions the same functionality is not available. For example for initiate process form this options are not available.

What I plan to do is when a user receives a task they can respond it by clicking on respond button. When they click on response button it initiates a new process. What I want to do as the user starts new process the initiate process form should return true or false back to previous form from where it was initiated. If they click on finish the value should be true indicating that a new process has started, otherwise the value will be false.Based on the value true/false I will disable and enable some controls on the task form. Please help me to achieve this.

Thanks in advance

Hello Guys,

Any ideas?

to put it in other words, you are trying to invoke a 'child' process from a 'parent' process. And, when the 'child' process instance is created, u need to update a flag/boolean value in your 'parent' process instance. Right?

If this is your requirement, instead of going for 'Action' button, you can place a checkbox in the task form and when the

checkbox = true, initiate the child process, set flag/boolean value to true in a subsequent PDM activity and route the task back to the original performer or teh next performer and here you can enable/disable the task form fields based on the flag/boolean value
checkbox = false, update flag/boolean value to false in a subsequent PDM activity and route the task back to the original performer or teh next performer and here you can enable/disable the task form fields based on the flag/boolean value

Regarding, the action button configuration I am not sure if you will be able to return any value to the parent process.

Hello,

My situation is a little more complex. Returning parameters for invoke process action is almost impossible. Instead I will create a complex process template and put all variables for child process into it. After that the variables can be checked in transition logic an that should solve the issue.
