multiple selected records calling a single table task

Question

I have a task in which I want to combine multiple (with a maximum) selected records onto a single task dialog.

For example a grid with packages and a task that combines one or more packages into a single collo.
The user selects one or more packages (for example maximum = 5) and the task has 5 package_id fields. When the task is executed the package_id of the first selected record is placed in the tasks package_id_1 field and the second in package_id_2 etc…..

As far as I know we cannot do that directly as the task will b get started multiple times instead of just once.
But maybe using a processflow?

I can't imagine that nobody ever thought about this 🙄
So hopefully someone can give me some good suggestions.

Another option would be to use Multirow tasks.

You can create a process flow with a placeholder task. The first task either sets a checkbox on the rows to be executed, or fills a table with the rows to process. The next task in the process flow will then be the actual task that uses the marked rows from the first task.
