Default Value population for Start Event

[bartczar]

Hi,

I am following the documentation for "Default Value population".
It works great for User Tasks within the process, but it does not work for Start Events.

I'm setting up a process variable "defaults" in execution listener (Start Script) in both cases in exactly the same way, to the same values.
I was trying to play with "Asynchronous continuation" on start event, I was trying to add my defaults setting code to the execution listener on the process level, but it fails.

It seems the process is started only after the start form is submitted - right?

By the way if I can I have a question regarding use of variables in htmlelement formio components (it would be useful to add for example links to external sites using process variables): it does not work for me as it seems those htmlelements are rendered before variables are fetched from Camunda.
Do you see a way to rerender htmlelements after variables are fetched?

Thanks,

BC
