How to get a simple form to populate from workflow container?

[Former Member]

We are triggering a custom workflow from the creation of a specific type of financial document (BKPF) based on doc type. I am able to make this occur after I implemented OSS Note 336305 onto our v4.7 Enterprise system.

I would like to make the first task a simple form that will display certain fields from the FI document and allow changing. I created a structure containing the fields I want displayed on the form and can get the form to display. However, I am unable to get the form populated with the information from the document. I'm suspect it's a binding problem but don't know where to begin. My container element contains both BKPF and the structure I created for the simple form.

I must warn you that I am new to Workflow having only taken the two classes at SAP Education, so any explaination will need to be detailed and simple.

Thanks for the help.

I solved this on my own. I created attributes containing the elements and then used an empty method to allow binding of the individual fields from the step back to the workflow container.

Since I made this entry yesterday, I decided I needed a method that will populate the form structure prior to displaying the form. I created a subtype ZBKPF of BKPF and added a method to populate structure. I know the method works correctly because I debugged the code and saw that it executes and fills the structure fields. However, it doesn't update the structure fields in the container correctly. So obviously I have a binding problem. I'm not sure how to get the container fields populated once I populate the structure. Thoughts?
