Assign same user to a set of usertasks

jorell — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 21:59:31 GMT

Is there any way I can specify in the bpmn that a set of user tasks should be assigned the same user. So if I assign the first task to user kermit, the other tasks are automatically assigned to kermit as well?

Create a task listener in first task on "complete" event, get the bpm_assignee & assign it to a variable. Then create task listeners in each other tasks on "create" event set that variable back to bpm_assignee.

I was hoping there was a low cost solution to this from the bpmn itself. Could swim lanes or pool lanes be used for this in some way?

No, pools and swimlanes don't have 'memory'. In bpmn, they are merely for documentation.

You could have a 'low-cost' solution by doing something like vkajamugan mentions, but using a ParseHandler (although it will be applied always in that case …)

Understood, thanks.
