Step 1 - Use process instance objects between tasks
The idea of this exercise is user put some number value at starting workflow and then in next form will be showed the introduced number multiplied by 3.
For doing it you should:
- Create two forms with inputs value, one to put the value and other to show the value multiplied by 3.
- Create a node where get the value introduced, multiply by 3 and store in new object.
- Create a task where to show the number.
- Assign task to actor okmAdmin
To store some object in workflow variable map, you should use executionContext.getContextInstance().setVariable("modified", modified);
Remember objects used in forms should extend FormElement. Take a look here http://doxygen.openkm.com/5.1.x/d5/d89/namespacecom_1_1openkm_1_1bean_1_1form.html

} else {
value = 0;
}
value = value * 3;
Input modified = new Input();
modified.setName("modified");
modified.setLabel("modified");
modified.setValue(String.valueOf(value*3));
executionContext.getContextInstance().setVariable("modified", modified);
}
}
