Hi,

I'm working with OpenKM v5.1.8. I created a workflow which works fine. It contains some simple forms with comment field (text area), some buttons, and some task nodes and a mail node at the end.

Now I have to modify this workflow so that the sent mail contains the content of the comment field (with other words, that the receiver of the mail gets the information inside the comment field). I start working with a swimlane but I need a hint to assign the value/content of the comment field to the swimlane. Or is this a wrong way?
The comment field is defined in forms.xml, its name is 'comment'. The name of the swimlane is 'reason', it is defined in process definition of the workflow.

If you need more information feel free to ask ;-)

Thanks so far,

Joerg

Try to create a task handler which get the process instance variables and send the email.
