Thank you for all your replies, and sorry, you're right, it is a simple User Input Task.

@stefan, I was just thinking about how it works. No real needs for the moment.

The 'Save Draft' button persists values that are saved into the rule inputs. Within the process model node for User Input task, the rule inputs of the form map directly the activity class parameter inputs. When you click 'Save Draft', Appian saves the values to those activity class parameters. This means that data is stored in the active process instance.

Start forms do not support the "Safe Draft" function. Form variables are persisted in the referenced AC variables in User Input Tasks.

"Safe Draft" is a built in non-customizable function and there is no way to configure a trigger or event.

When you explain your use case, I am sure we will be able to help.

"Save Draft" functionality (referring to the out-of-box button and not something custom-built), is a completely internal Appian function, with no ability to affect anything external. AFAIK it's not a valid option (and not even available) on Start Forms, only on User Input Tasks associated with a running Process Instance.

Is the "Save Draft" a submit button? Can you please share some screenshots from the interface, the process mode, the process instance after you click on the "Save Draft" button as it's not clear what you are asking.
