Updating case property values in a reused process

You can update case property values as a workflow progresses.

About this task

The global workflow collection contains workflow definitions that do not have a reference to a case type class definition, so these workflow definitions cannot contain expressions that reference case properties.

Procedure

To update case property values:

  1. Insert submap steps into the global workflow definition at points where you want to update the case properties.
  2. Create submaps in the global workflow definition.
    Any of the submap steps can call the same submap, or each one can call a different submap, or both.
  3. In any of the task workflows that inherit or extend this global workflow definition, override the submaps and add Assignment instructions to update the case or task properties.
