For instance, given a wfid, if I lookup that process from the dashboard, can I inject (or set) a process variable? Or is the correct way to do it is to effect it from within the workflow by nature of testing a workitem field? |

| 2012-05-15 22:00:57 utc | jmettraux | it's easier to set such a process variable at launch time |
| 2012-05-15 22:01:09 utc | jmettraux | $dashboard.launch(pdef, fields, variables) |
| 2012-05-15 22:02:16 utc | jmettraux | but you are right, the more natural way to influence a workflow is via a workitem field (provided the workflow gave you a workitem via a participant) |
| 2012-05-15 22:02:28 utc | jmettraux | or by sending a signal to the workflow (cancel, etc) |
