Create Form task vs Create App Task

We need to develop using studio web. As a part of implementing Action center with some simple Approve and reject logic. I got to know web is not supported with Create Form task activity.

I just wanted to know what is the difference between craete form task and create app task and their respective activities. Can someone help here. (wait for form task and resume / wait for app task and resume)

Hello @venkatnarasimha9600.

The key difference is Cloud-First approach and reusability. If you can create one “Approval/Reject App”, you can use it across multiple process (even on Studio Web) .

We have moved from forms to Apps, when we migrated few processes to Cloud.

So, Forms are not supported with Web studio?
And as per my understanding App’s realted activity is replacing forms in web studio.

Actually I have created an APP through this option(2nd option).

But when i am trying to use that app inside Create App task activity, it is not appearing.

That difference is I think not explaining it well.

Create Form Task is the legacy version indeed, but its done using a whole different method, using the Form builder in UiPath Studio and with the forms-js framework.

There is no form builder using that framework in Studio Web, hence why it is not supported.

Instead the App task allows you to build what is called an ‘Action App’ in UiPath Apps, which can then be linked to the action. This can be used in both Studio Desktop and web, but you need to make the action app in UiPath apps.

I’d strongly suggest the latter, cause the form-js will be deprecated at some point and offers far less functionality.

I have publishd the APP, but still its not appearing in Create App task activity.
ad what is the a=major difference bbetween creating APP using this APP option in the screenshot i have attached above with the UiPath APP

You need to make sure its defined as a ‘Action App’, normal apps don’t appear. There are some resources and documentation you can search up for it.

okay sure. Thanks for the Info.
