As a user I want to set a static value in a read-only text field

[korthout]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Often I want to provide additional context to the user about a task.

Describe the solution you'd like

Be able to set a static value (instead of a key that maps to a process variable) on a read-only text field.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

My current workaround is using input mappings to set the value of the key to some static value.
This means the static definition is defined in the process, while it should probably belong in the form.

Additional context

• It might be interesting to allow FEEL expressions directly instead of defining a key.
• I'd expect a static value to be rendered directly in the modeller, also when this is a FEEL expression like = "foo"

Thanks for opening the issue! To which execution platform are you referring? Camunda Cloud or Platform?

[korthout]

Ah I wasn't sure there was a difference for forms, but I specifically need this for Camunda Cloud :)

[pinussilvestrus]

You're probably right, that seems to be not related to a specific platform 👍

This will be doable once we integrate bpmn-io/form-js#436 (via [email protected]). I'm setting this as fixed upstream; feel free to disagree.
