public class GetPropertiesTask extends ComponentTask
Gets the value properties from a component and makes them available within the workflow as the last task output. Using bindOutput, these values can also be placed into the process state.

For a canvas the componentId specifies everything necessary to identify the target. For a form control more information is needed. The componentId identifies the container (i.e. DynamicForm) and the individual field is specified as targetFieldName.

The next task might be a save operation on a DataSource, or SetPropertiesTask to copy settings from one component to another.

GetPropertiesTask is an advanced and rarely used task. If you need a component property to be dynamic, you can configure that property as a Dynamic Property without the need for a Workflow. Dynamic Properties created this way automatically update as your users make changes.
