An example method facilitates associating data objects with elements of a process to be implemented via a process-based software application. The example method includes determining that a developer has added a particular software element to a software application being developed by the developer; accessing metadata describing the software element; and using the metadata to automatically associate the software element to one or more data objects to be used by the software element during running of the software application. A process cloud may facilitate implementing the method by automatically performing data mapping for software elements, such as approval tasks, forms, and so on, by determining appropriate task outcome data objects with reference to data characterizing a software flow of the software application, and by similarly automatically selecting and/or creating data objects for forms, which may be associated with or used by a task.
