Hi StephenOTT,

Thank you for reaching out to us with this request.

Could you clarify which CamSDK API you want to use to set transient variables? The endpoints which allow setting variables should already support the transient feature out of the box.

Please see the example below:

let processDefinitionService = camClient.resource('process-definition');
processDefinitionService.start({
  variables: {
    myVariable: {
      value: true,
      type: 'Boolean',
      valueInfo: {
        transient: true
      }
    }
  }
}, (err, results) => {
  // handle results or error
});

Where would you expect reading documentation about how to use the transient feature together with sdk-js?

Best,

Can this be done with the Forms camForm.variableManager ?

Okay tested.  yes can be doing with the variable manager.  I guess the real missing docs seem to be more about how Variable Manager works in camForm (When using variable manager).  I assumed it was a different object that was being passed because of the "isDirty" property.

Hi StephenOTT,

Thank you for the clarification and for your patience.

Unfortunately, I was busy this week. I'll give you an update on this topic next week.

Stay tuned!

Hi StephenOTT,

Thank you for your patience.

I've updated the ticket description. Do you like to contribute to improve the documentation?

I am very unsure of how camSDK is supposed to be used.  the api is not clear, and there are very few code comments that define the expected usage.  So I would not be much help... I am looking for the docs so i can better understand the usage.

Simple example.  There is $scope.complete(), and scope.camForm.submit().  But there is no complete() within camForm.  

complete() seems to also work for a Start Form, but the hideCompleteButton does not appear to work on start forms.  So is complete() is the expected function to use on a start form?

What are the lifecycles of the variableManager.  Can you send variables adhoc to the server? Or is it just for usage with the complete/submit.

etc etc.

Hi StephenOTT,

I wasn't aware that the hideCompleteButton does not work: It sounds like unexpected behavior to me. Could you please create another ticket for that?

Based on your input, I updated the ticket description and will forward your request for decision making.

Stay tuned!

Best,

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for suggesting this. Due to other priorities, we will not be able to prioritize this ticket soon, but will keep it in mind for future product planning.
