Decision Task -> Link to object's default Display method

Tue Jun 29 09:44:53 EDT 2010

Rick

If you are planning to use this BO display method just for this workflow,
you can write your own Z method to display infotype 0002 and change the
Default method for that BO in basic data tab of the busniess object.
