Rick,
You might want to look at the overview of simple forms on

Rick,
Yes a form step uses a flat structure - no multilines - no complex =
structures.
 
If you want to use more complex values then you have a couple of =
options:
 
* Use multiple individually named elements in your flat structure, e.g. =
row1field1, row1field2, row2field1, etc.
(not ideal but practical)
 
* Pass over enough info in your flat structure to go back and read the =
multiline detail from the workflow container
Note: **workflow** container not workitem - the form step talks =
directly to the workflow container.
 
* Hold the mutliline data in a custom table and pass over sufficient =
key data to access the custom table from the form
 
Use the flow logic of the form step screen to retrieve the necessary =
data.

I remember reading somewhere that the structure had to be a "flat" =
structure to be used in a form - I took this to mean data elements only =
- I will be watching to see if that is not the case.

Thank you Jim, but perhaps I wasn't clear with my question.
Let me try again.
There is a new FORM element in workflow for the Enterprise release. I =
have only been able to get the form to work on a container element that =
is defined by a structure but is not multilined.
I have multilined container elements in my workflow that I would like =
to create a form around, but the FORM element doesn't seem to recognize =
the container element if it is multilined.
My question is, has anyone been able to use the form element with a =
multilined container?

Hey Rick ,
I just got through creating an object to pull in workflow log via
container. This container element
is multi-line. You have to make sure the object uses the swc_set_table
container instead of the set element.
Otherwise it will not write multi line.

Subject:    Workflow Forms
 
 
Hi Fellow Workflowers,
 
There are some additional workflow steps added with R/3 Enterprise. One =
of
which is a FORM step. This step relies on a predefined structure as a
workflow container element.
I have had success generating forms with a container element who's
structure is NOT multilined, however I have not had any success with
multiline elements.
I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with this step. Any =
tips
and tricks for using multiline containers ?
