How to access container element _EVT_CREATOR

[Maue, Thomas X.]

Ty,
 
Have you set up the binding definition between the event container and the
WF container?
Should look like this:
Task container          Event container
 
  Element name        <==Expression
Initiator of workflo    <==     &_EVT_CREATOR&
 
Go to triggering events, click on the event, click on binding definition
button.
Once in the WF container you can pull into each task container as needed.
 
Regards,
