Title: Exception when trying to create a Process-Form

Describe the issue:
I have created a new, simple process which should only display one process variable on the console. I have defined a process variable "employee" as "String".
When trying to create the "Process Form" I can only select "Edit Process Form" or "Generate all". When selecting "Edit Process Form" I do get an exception, as there is none to edit.

Generating "all" seems to be confusing. Is he generating all or only the once that are not present yet? What I I already have another, e.g. Task-Form in my process. Will this be overwritten?

Suggestions for improvement:
- Disable "Edit" if there is nothing to edit
- Have "Edit" create the missing form

I think the best way to respond this issue is explain the current behaviour. When the user access the forms menu, has two situations:

- When no task is selectedAttached image:NoTaskSelected.png)
   * Edit Process Form. Allows access to the process initial form.  If it doen't  exist, a new empty form is created and the data binding had to be defined manually.
   * Generate all forms. Generates the process forms (for each user type task an the intial form ) with the data bindings automatically defined. And just in case the form doesn't exist, adds the related fields.

- When a task is selectedAttached (image:TaskSelected.png)
   * Edit Task Form.  Allows access to the task form.  If it doen't  exist, a new empty form is created and the data binding had to be defined manually.
   * Generate Task Form. Generate the task form with the data bindings automatically defined. In case that the form exists, the databinding are updated but the fields are no added to the existing form to avoid overwrite changes that the user could done manually.

The described behaviour is not the one seen by the V6 Beta Version.

Will this be part of the next Beta drop?

Yes. "MODIFIED" status means that the code will make it to the next build. (When that build gets to you, I don't know.)
