Passing data from Custom Role to workflow

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Top marks Akshay for noticing the button.

Unfortunately the help is a little vague (doesn't mention it at all....)

However you may also have noticed there are two flavours of rules: Agent
Assignment rules and web/url determination rules. 
So I would suspect that the add returned element feature may only apply
to the latter.

All you can return from a rule is the _RULE_RESULT container element. 

If there is anything else you want to return, use your own separate
task/method prior to the workflow step to which your rule is linked.

Reasons on why data needs to be calculated during role
resolution aside. 

The fact of the matter is that SAP allows for such
returned element to be passed back from the role. 

Go to the container tab in PFAC and you will see an
icon that says 'add returned element' (ECC 5.0).

I have also tried utilizing this feature but failed. I
am able to successfully create the container element
in the role. I used the macro SWC_SET .... to populate
the container element. But during runtime, no values
are passed back into the container element. 

Appreciate any help if anyone has successfully used
this feature. 

Thanks in advance.
