Get user actions dynamically

Hi! I need to get user actions dynamically, I have already seen an example Sample12 and there I can change code like this and get actions:

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Elsa.Activities.Console.Extensions;
using Elsa.Activities.UserTask.Activities;
using Elsa.Extensions;
using Elsa.Models;
using Elsa.Services;
using Elsa.Services.Extensions;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

namespace Sample12
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Demonstrates workflow correlation & user tasks.
    /// </summary>
    public static class Program
    {
        public static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            var services = BuildServices();
            var registry = services.GetService<IWorkflowRegistry>();
            var workflowDefinition = await registry.GetWorkflowDefinitionAsync<UserTaskWorkflow>();
            var invoker = services.GetRequiredService<IWorkflowInvoker>();

            // Start the workflow.
            var correlationId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N");
            var executionContext = await invoker.StartAsync(workflowDefinition, correlationId: correlationId);

            do
            {
                var activity = (UserTask) executionContext.CurrentActivity;
                // Workflow is now halted on the user task activity. Ask user for input:
                Console.WriteLine($"What action will you take? Choose one of: {string.Join(", ", activity.Actions)}");
                var userAction = Console.ReadLine();

                // Resume the workflow with the received stimulus.
                var triggeredExecutionContexts = await invoker.TriggerAsync(nameof(UserTask), new Variables { ["UserAction"] = new Variable(userAction)}, correlationId);
                executionContext = triggeredExecutionContexts.First();

            } while (executionContext.Workflow.IsExecuting());
        }

        private static IServiceProvider BuildServices()
        {
            return new ServiceCollection()
                .AddElsa()
                .AddConsoleActivities()
                .AddWorkflow<UserTaskWorkflow>()
                .BuildServiceProvider();
        }
    }
}

But in my application workflow is already started and if try to construct WorkflowExecutionContext like this

var workflowFactory = services.GetRequiredService<IWorkflowFactory>();
var workflow = workflowFactory.CreateWorkflow(workflowDefinition);
var executionContext = new WorkflowExecutionContext(workflow, services.GetRequiredService<IClock>(), services);
var userTask = (UserTask) executionContext.CurrentActivity;

My variable userTask is null.

Briefly, I need something like GetOpenUserActions in WorkflowCore.

For Anyone who ask about this , after reading the great documentation UserTask is just a class the inherits from activity .

it has one more virtual method which called OnCanExecute which retruns a bool if true it will go as a normal activity if not it will just terminate the execution .

its also had ActivityInput called action which takes the actions as string[] .

https://elsa-workflows.github.io/elsa-core/docs/next/guides/guides-blocking-activities

this tutorial is more than enough for the user task example.

finaly, thanks for this awesome library

I’m afraid not as of yet. Shifting priorities and all that.
