Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for providing workflow task user interfaces (UIs) for an application, the method being executed by one or more processors and comprising:
receiving, by a design-time environment of an application platform, user input representative of user selection of a set of decision elements to be included in a workflow task user interface (UI) and at least one data object that is to be affected by input to the workflow task UI, each decision element being associated with a decision identifier;
providing, by the design-time environment, the workflow task UI as one or more computer-executable files that are executable to provide a container component and metadata, the container component storing parameters of the application at run-time, the metadata comprising logic that is executable within a view of the container component during run-time;
determining whether design of the workflow task UI is complete; and
based on the workflow task UI design being complete, generating the workflow task UI which includes the container component and the metadata;
during run-time use of the application:
displaying the workflow task UI to enable a user to execute a respective task of a workflow, and
receiving user input to a decision element within the view of the container component, and in response:
passing a decision identifier associated with the decision element from the container component to the metadata, the decision identifier being bound to UI controls and properties within metadata of an update entity action, and
executing the update entity action to update the decision identifier with sending the decision identifier to a workflow backend to complete the respective task of the workflow.
