Default Custom Code Understanding?

Hi Team,

I would like to confirm my understanding on below parameters as defined by default in process flow custom codes:

Object current = param(1);
treenode activity = param(2);
Token token = param(3);
treenode processFlow = ownerobject(activity);

Here is the my understanding in same sequence:

1. defines object the activity is related to.

2. defines activity treenode

3. defines token flow through activity

4. defines activity treenode

I would like to hear from you in more detail to get more clarity on these points with the help of example if possible?

Thank you!

In a general process flow, 'current' will refer to the process flow and not the involved instance object. Only in an Object Process Flow will current refer to the object instance. So:

current :- the instance object OR the process flow
activity :- the activity where this code resides
token :- the triggering token
processFlow :- the flow where the activity is located (the same as 'current' in a General Process Flow)
