Pass a Service Variable to a Custom Form in a User Action

acollins

I have a service which kicks off an IPA. There is a service variable (employee number) I want to pass to a Design Studio form. The custom COBOL has multiple Design Studio forms. There is a user action tied to the Design Studio form (through a portal page in PFI). Currently in Process Flow, the value is displayed in the list message which goes away in IPA, and the user enters the value into the custom form. It seems like the value should just be able to be displayed without the user entering it.

If I use "Infor Lawson application" as the Display Type on the user action, I could pass the information in keys. I have multiple custom versions of the form and could set one of the custom forms as the default; however, that would be an issue for the other custom forms which are not the default. Display Type "Infor Lawson Custom form" does not give me the option to pass along the value of the service variable as a key field. Is there a Display Type option would allow me to pass along the field? Do I need to add any javascript to accomplish this? If so, how do I get the value of the service variable?

One issue is that Design Studio cannot read variables stored on WorkUnits in Landmark. Is the trigger for the flow to begin due to some action performed on the S3 side? If it is, then there is a Classic WorkUnit created on the S3 side that stores any initial variables and passes them to a Landmark WorkUnit and you can access variables from the Classic WorkUnit with Design Studio.
