Description

Currently there is no way to define expressions for input parameters in Call Activities when using the Designer.

Please extend the Designer to allow both source and sourceExrpessions:

<extensionElements>
<activiti:in source="order" target="order"/>
<activiti:in sourceExpression="CREATE_CONTRACT target="operationType"/>
</extensionElements>

I think there is a way.

In the Form property configuration dialog (the one for editing input/output parameters of a CallActivity), if you enter a JUEL expression in the source field like this: $

{myExpression}

, the designer will create a sourceExpression attribute instead of plain source attribute in the activiti:in element.

So, if you enter $

{abc} you will get sourceExpression="${abc}

". If you enter just xyz, the result in the BPMN file will be source="xyz".

Tested in Designer 5.8.
