<DIV>First part of your response:</DIV>
<DIV>Yes. I can set the same WF Template / Task container with other methods before and after this task. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Second part:</DIV>
<DIV>I think we are on the same page. Yes. I want to set the container in one method verses putting a </DIV>
<DIV>container operation on every outcome. </DIV>
<DIV>Then, depending on the outcome, I could be calling a method to change to a different value. For instance, </DIV>
<DIV>if I just cancel out of the task and do nothing, I want to flag it "X', Default for all. If reject, the default value will </DIV>
<DIV>be 'X', then another method will do something else with the flag depend on ...whatever...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I debug the method and I see the container being set and step through it but see nothing in the WF Template...</DIV>
<DIV>Like I said, I am just trying to learn how to use these methods. Never used before. (Could never figure out what to use them for!) </DIV>
