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.

  • Missing Dims
  • 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.

My OOTB set up isn't dropping it in there.  11.2 by the way...  And my table/attributes is not called "Inputs" like yours.  Mine says task completion.  I'm guessing that I just haven't figured out where to edit those task template options.  I had to add the Task Variables option to my Task Template to get them on the the first tab.  

 

Where do I go to mess with that stuff?!
