Goal

In PS3 user task transformation doesn't show task as source in output transformation. Because of this it is not possible to use transformation to copy the task. Additionally, in PS3 array copy is also not available to be used here.

Mapping the output of Human Task (Task payload) to Process Data Objects (variables) for deciding the process flow is one of the most common use cases. The XPATH - Data Associations Editor does not handle Arrays. In the moment, XSLT is the only option for handling Arrays. The Task Payload has several Array attributes and XSLT support for manipulating them is essential.

Hoever, the Task argument does not appear in the source drop-down of XSLT transformation and hence Task payload output cannot be used in the process at all.
