job instatiator window .. how to retrive the selected values

Hi,

In the job instatiator window i have a drop down which list some values.
The user has to select one value.

My requirement is, in another external task I need to get this value.
Could some help me out.

In the sample code, down the mail i need to retrive the value "iw_desc"
in an external task.

I am using TS 6.5.

error_msg => 'Please enter a description',

);

iw_setwfarg_**** is the simplest way to make sure that a job instantiation input field's value is turned into a job variable.

You can do the same thing yourself by creating job and/or task variables using the __TAG__() directive in the value portion and/or setting perl variables with the __VALUE__() directive and then using the perl variable - either within a perl block of code (as with TeamSite::WFconstructor) or using the __INSERT__() directive.
