Hi Everyone, i need to save values directly to the process variable without using data tab.
On Button click I have written a javascript like Form window will close and userInput task is still active which means control is still on same node. Now my requirement is how to set PV value directly in this case...

Using JavaScript will prevent your forms yo be mobile enabled but if you still have to use this approach why don't you use JS to autosubmit the form instead of just closing the window?

Why dont you make the UI task as a Quick task? So each time you click the button the values will be saved to pv's from data tab and the node will in be active.
Hope this helps!

You can use Ramesh's suggestion or auto-submit but connect the user input task to a blank script task and then the script task back to the original node.

Make your task as a Quick task and onClick of the button you can use autosubmit code. so that task will always be in active state.
