Programmatically interact with workflows

Question

i want to interact both from the material frontend and from python code with my workflow, in particular with a View. The workflow works properly with the material frontend, but i have some problem with programmatically interaction.

I am able to assign the view to an user

Task.objects.filter(id=self.kwargs['task_id'])[0].activate().assign(self.request.user)

but i cannot go ahead with the view.

The view is defined in the workflow like the following:

reporting = (
        flow.View(
            viewsets.Reporting,
            task_description='Reporting'
        ).Permission(
            auto_create=True
        ).Next(this.check_operator_accept)
    )

The model to which the view refers has 2 fields:

 operator_report = CharField(max_length=150)
 operator_accept = BooleanField(default=False)

How can i set those fields and go ahead with the workflow steps? Thanks

Django Views are suited to handle user HTTP request.

To represent programming task, that would be called from code use flow.Function
