Hi all.

Is there a way to reference a process variable in the “Write your script here” section of a System script connector?

I would like to use a process or business data variable in bonita as an argument to the “script” we want to run.

We have a bunch of scripts to accomplish specific tasks already. I would like to capture them all into Bonita to use.

If I can pass process or business data variables to them then I can start to convert those scripts into groovy slowly over time.

thanks for the help!

Click Switch Editor and use the script editor to return the command to execute…

_return "command + {{parameter}};_
