If I understand correctly, you want to use the display method to display specific info type through PA20. But you are passing EMPLOYEET object to the decision task only as an attachment and the default method for that task is DECISION-PROCESS. So, you are passing the container values(Info type/subtype) only to DECISION method but not to EMPLOYEET-Display method. You can confirm this by setting a breakpoint PROCESS method, where you will see those container values. I don’t think you can pass workflow container values to the objects attached to the decision task.The same method will work if its a standard task tied directly to the display method.</font></span></p>
