Pass through data from input form in Workflow to Javascript file

[marting66652718]

Hello! Im currently building a custom activity in my extension workflow. But where Im stuck right now is where I need to pass on the values that has been put in on the custom activity node to the javascript. 

Use-case: We need a new Activity node where users can add title, text, start- and end-date, and some other information that we want to send via an API to an endpoint. These values will then be displayed on the customers private page.

The activity that I have created:

Input form:

Extension of the workflow schema:

And then I have a javascript value that will send the values from the input-form to the API, but currently Im using dummy-data, as Im not able to get the values from the workflow.

So that is what I need help figuring out. When a user starts a workflow and runs the custom activity, I want that specific data to pass on to the javascript file. Lets call it abc:javascriptfile.js.

Hope someone know how to help!

Best Regards,

Martin

Hello @marting66652718 

Within the element tag of the custom activity in a workflow, schema add this code to call your js file

<attribute default="abc:javascriptfile.js" name="library">

Hi! 

I already have that in the schema:

    <attribute default="'lf:communicationService.js'" name="library" type="string"/>

But not sure on how to use the data from the activity in the javascript-file called lf:communicationService.js.

Hello @marting66652718 

You should be able to get the attributes in your _call function with 

activity.@title

activity.@textField

Hi, that didn't work. Not definition of activity.
