How to get workitem id of webflow task to call terminating event?

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi Natasha,
I'm not that familiar with the BSP side of things, and I'm almost
surprised that this isn't bound automatically.
However, what I'm talking about will still work. I think you did
misunderstand: In PFTC, on the basic data tab there's a binding button by
the object method. That lets you define the - normally automatic - binding
from *task* to *method*, thus if you bind the ID from there you'll get the
task ID not the WF ID.

Cheers
Mike
