I would like to add some inputs to my promotion request approve task.  There are comment inputs and vote inputs.... but I wanted to add a could of boolean attributes (radio buttons would be nice) for common reasons for rework.  Then, I can collect report data about why Promotion requests are being sent back for rework.

  • Notes
  • GD&T
  • Design Issue

Stuff like that.

 

I thought I saw an article that says it's not possible but want to ask the community if they think otherwise or have an alternative solution.

 

The referenced buzz kill...

I am not sure that article means what we think it means. I just created a workflow with two boolean attributes and tested it. Displays like this:

You should be able to create a variable in the workflow and also in the task to gather inputs. Then you can write logic around it. Am I missing something? Seems pretty OOTB.

    So I can definitely do it in the workflow... I know how to get user input variables in there... and even pass them to the task.  But... That screen shot you have... is that from a task?  The user would have to input that in the task.

    Yes, that is the task page. You add boolean variables to the task and you make them visible and editable. It should join to the same variable at the process level so you can use it in logic code. Seems like you know about workflows. I do not think I understand the issue of why it cannot be done.
