The Configure workflow option is a great way to set values for configurable variables (those whose “Allow external configuration” has been ticked). However, I could not access these variables in Start event forms, which kind of defeats the purpose.
Is there a way to be able to externally configure variables that can be accessed in Start event forms?
Hi
Welcome to the community.
The best way I have found to add external variables to a start event form is to include the variables in the form's URL as parameters and then use the getQueryStringParameter function in the form to retrieve the parameter from the URL. This function can be used to populate a control or a form variable.
I have linked the help file for this function here:
