Parameter configuration
If the current manual task contains variables (local or global variables, for example, variables referenced by using
${xx}in configurations such as the scan scope in a workflow), the system identifies and lists them for parameter configuration. After the parameters are configured, the manual task runs with the specified parameter values, and you can select Fill Empty Values.
