Remarks

This element can contain any valid XML, and represents the data passed to all modification forms in the workflow. Each modification form must parse the data as necessary.

When a user clicks the modification name on the workflow status page, Windows SharePoint Services loads and displays the matching modification form. This element represents input data that Windows SharePoint Services passes to that modification form.

You can have multiple modifications and modification forms for a given workflow.

Example

The following example specifies the modification data to pass to all modification forms for the workflow. In this example, the element specifies two namespaces and passes an empty data node.
