ProcessData widget - bluesoft-rnd/aperte-workflow-core GitHub Wiki

This widget allows user to submit new or edit existing process instance variable. Because those values can be evaluated as different types (date, text, selection), ProcessData widget requires more flexibility than standard widgets. That's why it aggregates smaller components, that we refer to as Form Elements, to render itself.

This widget is part of Base Widgets plugin.
