Configuration example

<type name="alvexwf:executeTask">

<parent>bpm:workflowTask</parent>

<mandatory-aspects>

<aspect>alvexrwf:relatedWorkflows</aspect>

</mandatory-aspects>

</type>

Configuration example

<appearance>

<field id=“” set="">

<control template="/alvex/related_workflows_control.ftl">

<control-param name="definitionsFilter">(activiti$)

</control-param>

</control>

</field>

</appearance>
