Hi,

Did you read the documentation of the API ? Here is the link of what you’re looking for :

[http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/javadoc/api/6.3/org/bonitasoft/engine/api/ProcessRuntimeAPI.html#getProcessDataInstances](http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/javadoc/api/6.3/org/bonitasoft/engine/api/ProcessRuntimeAPI.html#getProcessDataInstances)(long, int, int)

thanks for your answer, I think I did wrong question, I need to know is how to bring the “definition” of a form in a task, the variables are defined in the process but as I get the variables associated with a task

You want to use variables defined in an activity/task ?

They’re only accessible on the task and the next flow. You can use them like process variable in a groovy script.
