WF Binding

[Kjetil Kilhavn]

I assume your values from the business object are not really from the
business object, but rather exported values from a method. These will not
be available until after the method has executed, whereas your step
description is created when the work item is created. So you can't do it
the way you have planned.

If it is possible (not depending on input which is passed from the
workflow) to calculate your values as virtual attributes of the object
instead that should solve your problem since you can then refer directly to
the object attributes in your description.

Here is what I need to know. Would like to insert some values in
Description
Tab using Insert Exrpression coming from the Task which in turn is getting
values from the Business Object.
Or if there is any other alternate way todo it.

Would appreciate it.

Thanks.
