If I understand the documentation correct, you can use output data from a previous activity in the current activity as long as it is in the control path.

Here is my problem: I'm trying to add a person's name that came into the process at activity 1 (START) as the activity description in further activities down the line with the following entry: %START:Name%
but it is not working. It replaces the name of the activity in the worklist with the string START:Name and not with the value of that data member.

Any ideas? Thanks

Use %Name%, but make sure that you map this value to input container.

Francois:

I believe that you can only use this "refer-back" technique on Transition conditions. For Description the items must be in the current input container as yaakov indicates.
