Task data is the data that the task requires for completion. You can add data to a task directly, or it can be provided on the order data or inherited from a different task. You can model task data in several ways using the Task Data tab of the Task editor. If you created the task using the Create Task wizard and you specified an existing task to use, that task's data is displayed in the Task Data area.
When extending the task data, see the following topics:
Note:
Different tasks can have different default values for the same data element. Because of this, whenever you add data from the Data Dictionary to a task, the default value defined in the Data Dictionary will not be inherited by the data element on the task.You can add any data defined in the Data Dictionary or the order to the task data.
To add data you have previously created:
Right-click inside the Task editor Task Data tab.
See "Task Editor Task Data Tab" for more information about the fields on this tab. When modeling data for activation tasks, navigate to the Task Request Data tab and right-click in the Task Data area.
Select Select from Order Template or Select from Data Schema.
A dialog box is displayed, enabling you to select data elements.
Note:
You can alternatively select Open Data Element view and then drag data elements from the Data Dictionary onto the Task Data area.Select which data you want to add to the task.
Tip:
When selecting data to add to the task:Press and hold the Shift key to select multiple consecutive elements. Or, press and hold the Control key to select multiple non-consecutive elements.
Select a parent node to add all data elements (simple and structured data elements) in its hierarchy.
Select a child node to add only the child node and its parent nodes. Design Studio automatically adds parent nodes associated to the child node up to the root of the data schema.
Click OK.
Design Studio adds the elements to the Task editor Task Data area.
Click Save.

You can create and add a new data structure definition to a task. See "About OSM Data in Model Projects" for more information about data structure definitions.
To add a new data structure definition to a task:
