body and date field carrying over from a message to a task

[Belinda]

I've created an application that tracks our requirements
from the Government. The first two forms which are
message class forms work perfectly. The final message
class form fires a Task form. All the fields carry over
the information except for the body, or actual message
field and some date fields. I've gottent he attachment
to carry over but not the actual message text. Any
suggestions?

When you create the task form, create it as a response action to your
"final" message form. Then, in the design of the custom task form,
drag the message text control, which is called the doc-site control or
the body, from the category of your "final" message form to P.2 of your
custom task form. This will enable the auto-load function of the
response action to auto-load the message text into the control on P.2.
