How is your second process being started (Email, EJB, WebService, etc)? Do you have an IN variable for that second process?

So if I understand properly everything is working except the xml file that gets dropped in the watched folder doesn't contain the right data because the exportData operation doesn't seem to export the right data when the user select a different option.



Do I understand the problem right?

no the "(document)" variable isn't returning the option the user selected but the data what was imported is returned correct lie.



Changed system to use only XFAForm variable its working now i am getting the selected option from my drop down.



Had to change all my XML structures from xfa:datasets/xfa:data to

FIELDS_



Assign Task works fine with XFAForm.



Thanks for all the help Jasmin
