Dynamic description when creating a SF task from a workflow

[TCrook]

From a workflow, I am creating a Salesforce Task.  Within this task, I would like to add the value from one or more contact properties to the task description.  The value of this dynamic string would then appear in the Comments field in the Salesforce task. 

Is there a way to do this?  Or does the description field need to be static?

@BérangèreL - I don't I am afraid. It believe is possible to create a Salesforce task via API (as detailed here) so I'd guess it wopuld be possible to create a custom-coded workflow action, complete with personalisation tokens to acheive this.

I am interested in this too! Is there a solution for this yet?
