Workflow Task Variables

[jlittle]

I am using the following code to get the ECR number and description value.

// Get the ECR Description and Number value and set to local attribute
wt.change2.WTChangeRequest2 cr = (wt.change2.WTChangeRequest2)primaryBusinessObject;
changeDescription = cr.getDescription().toString();
ecrNumber = cr.getNumber().toString();

I use these two variables in my Instructions section of the assigned task {ecrNumber} and {changeDescription}. Both of these work as expected and I see the results in the Instructions of the Windchill task and email. However, I would like to use these in the Task Name but it doesn't seem to be working. Is there more to using these variables in the Task name other than entering {ecrNumber} in the name field of the task?

Thanks,

You can try adding the following to your transition:



wt.workflow.engine.WfActivity myActivity =
(wt.workflow.engine.WfActivity)self.getObject();
myActivity.setName (ecrNumber + ": " + changeDescription);
myActivity = (wt.workflow.engine.WfActivity)
wt.fc.PersistenceHelper.manager.save(myActivity);

Just to let you know, I used your suggestion below and it works great.
Thanks for the input, I would have never found this.
