Variable Parameters for SetActivityStreamListener

Happy New Year, all!

I’ve got a SetActivityStreamListener associated with a User Task that is supposed to capture Comments from specific users since a previous status change. Problem is, I need to dynamically define the user list and the status. But it doesn’t look like I can assign variable values to the specification fields, as the simplified version following tries to do with ${previousStatus}

<activiti:taskListener event="create" class="com.collibra.dgc.workflow.api.listener.SetActivityStreamListener">
<activiti:field name="startOnStatusChangeFrom">
<activiti:string><![CDATA[${previousStatus}]]></activiti:string>
</activiti:field>
<activiti:field name="categories">
<activiti:string><![CDATA[COMMENT]]></activiti:string>
</activiti:field>
</activiti:taskListener>

I’m considering creating a preceding script task that looks at the activity stream and dynamically generates content for a text field in the user task, but this seems like I re-inventing the wheel.

Are there other, simpler options?

No, the SetActivityStreamListener can only accept 1 user name in the user property

Can you try changing:

<activiti:string><![CDATA[${previousStatus}]]></activiti:string>

to:

<activiti:expression><![CDATA[${previousStatus}]]></activiti:expression>

Thanks, @george.cheung.collibra.com !

One more thing…

Is it possible to specify multiple usernames or roles for the use or role input fields in SetActivityStreamListener? (Providing a CSV list of usernames doesn’t seem to work, and supplying multiple input fields for role didn’t work for me either.)
