Contextual decision text in user decision step

[Rick Bakker]

Hello,

Welcome to SAP-WUG!

When you say "Decision texts" do you mean the text that is displayed
in a workitem of a User Decision step?
Or do you mean the header text - i.e. what the user will see as one
line in the UWL?

If the former then yes, you can do what you want. You can build in
conditions in the SapScript of the task description.

If the latter then you'll just have to make use of a container element
that you fill beforehand in a previous step.

Let me know if I've misunderstood.

regards
Rick Bakker
