Hello,

If you have 1 activity and you need to change the instructions, it's easy as you can ue variables to define the instructions.

Create a String variable, like "dynInstructions", and define it's content in the start transition.

Then you can use the notation {dynInstructions} in the activity to display the content.

Hello Olivier,

I am having one activity and one role in that activity.

Thing is, all participants in that role will get instruction which are bit different (e.g. role is having 5 user...they will get tasks with slightly different instruction)

Hope i am able to explain...

Thanks in advance...

Ok, I understand.

I'm not sure that it' possible with only one Activity.

In fact, when you have 5 participants to 1 activity, you have 1 WfAssignedActivity and 5 WorkItem.

The issue is that the instructions field is on WfAssignedActivity, and is shared by the 5 users.

Maybe the Ad Hoc activties is the way to go.
