Hi All,

Firstly, sorry if this is duplicate question. I could not able find from discussion tab.

There is a scenario where we need to store UserName who accepts the task . So, the user who accepts the task needs to be captured after completion of task. The user who accepts the task (i.e tp!owner) needs to be stored in a db field. i have tried many times but in process variable i could see 'Null' value and not storing in DB column.

PFA. code snippet. kindly help me

one of the process model.

below script task i have configured like this and storing into CDT entity checkerid field.

after success process model run status.

before task assigned to user the process variable properties showing like this status is = Assigned and CheckerId= null values.

from below screen print i have accepted task and approved. now status got updated to Approved. 

the next flow is to update task owner property to CheckerId field. but noting showing here. but i could see my name is reflecting under process nodes properties 

could you please help where to change code to get updated username post accpet task.

Hi, 

I guess this is happening because you have configured it in a script task. tp! domain usually runs in context to the current node and because there aren't any task properties in a script task, it is not returning anything. 

Instead of a script task, try adding the same in your User Input Task's output and see if this is giving you any result.

Strange. My next solution would be to create a process report. 

Pre-requisite - There should only be one task in a process. 

  1. Create a process report by process model and select this process model.
  2. Configure it to give outputs like pm!id, pp!id, tp!id, tp!owner etc. and pass the pp!id as a filter when querying data from that report.
  3. When the query executes, it will only give you one dictionary of data and then you can index that dictionary to get the required field (task owner)

Process Report - docs.appian.com/.../Process_Reports.html

Probably the statusUpdate PV is getting overwritten may be during the status update script task or write to DSE if you are saving stored value back to the statusUpdate PV. I never faced any issue storing tp!owner to a PV.

Can you check that you are storing in text field or not.
