Hi [mention:04120ccb8dd74d76bb8fe18fa5a7ea03:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]  may I see your process model design,  generic approach would be when a action is generated capture the Id of that user into process variable, after once document id is generated, use a script to and update your record details by storing the user id and document id and pass that your write record smart service

I am not sure if you have 11 different database tables just for the differentiation of technology. If so, please re-think you approach by having a single table with an column/field for distinguishing the technology id coming from the reference data.

Coming to your question please use a script task post your document generation subprocess and use the a!update() function where the data would be your process variable and the index would be the document field and the value will be your document id. you will have to use match and select the pv based on the technology. (Not a good idea unless you have no options)

Please share your process design and also share us what make these 11 subprocess different, is it just the technology based record do you have any fields that vary.
