Hi Rick<BR>
<BR>
Ok I've created a new column for the task in SWL1 without referencing any container elements, since none of the existing container elements meet our requirements.<BR>
How would I go about populating it with a value from outside the workflow?<BR>
<BR>
Cheers<BR>
<BR>
I can create columns in SWL1 for containers that exist. Workflow initiator is not in the container <BR>
