Hi,

You can get the process instance Id from the task ID. Use that process instance ID to get all the tasks which are open.

Hi,

When a task is claimed it has an assignee, and that's the value you can search on currently. To query based on the candidate group you would need a custom native task query right now. But it would be good to also allow you to search on candidate group when a task is already claimed. Could you create a JIRA issue for this?

Best regards,

Thank you for your prompt responses. What I am actually try to do is when user claims a task, I want to be able to figure out which other tasks exists/remains open from that pool, and close them. My expectation was that when one user claims a task from a pool, other tasks are deleted or completed, most probably completed because deletion will throw me an exception. Now, another issue is if I manually close the tasks, it will go a step further in my process and generate another user task. So, that doesn't help. I tried using "deleteUserIdentityLink" to remove any association with the task at hand, I am not sure if this is the right approach.
I will try to create a JIRA ticket soon, we need unit tests along with it right ?
