How to configure task owner from designer?

swamy2156 — Tue, 04 Mar 2014 12:44:54 GMT

I had a workflow which is having almost 18 usertasks and each having its own Owner and candidate groups. But in designer, I can configure candidate groups but not owner. There is no field to set Owner group. Is there any specific reason to not providing the owner field configuration for UserTask pro

No, not really. It's probably simply not implemented.

There is no specific reason for not having an owner-input. The main reason is that setting the owner through BPMN was added later on and not pulled through to the designer yet…

Hi

Is this feature implemented now ? Is it possible to set owner via activiti designer ?

Actually I can set this attribute via bpmn.xml as below :

<userTask id="selectApprover_UT" name="Select Approver" activiti:assignee="${assignee}" activitiwner="${initiator}" ……

however after this, If I ever change bpmn via designer, and then I save the bpmn from designer, save action tries to add the owner attribute again and since there occurs duplicate attribute definition, bpmn becomes invalid. So whenever I change the bpmn through designer I need to go to xml and clean up the duplicated owner attribute. It is painful and prone to error.
