Changing contents of work item outside the wf

[Shoaib Mirza]

Hi Rick
 
Ok I've created a new column for the task in SWL1 without referencing any container elements, since none of the existing container elements meet our requirements.
How would I go about populating it with a value from outside the workflow?
 
Cheers
 
I can create columns in SWL1 for containers that exist.  Workflow initiator is not in the container
