Skip doesn't work when user task assigned to group

Second is a user task with a skip expression. The start form prompts whether or to skip the user task.If the user task is assigned

Finally got back around to looking at this. I was able to work around the issue I was having. This thread is related to the issue:

lmazurk's post is similar to how I worked around my issue. I'm using a TASK_CREATED event listener which assigns and completes the task if the skip expression evaluates to true. In order for this to work, _ACTIVITI_SKIP_EXPRESSION_ENABLED must be false. And you can't invoke taskService.complete within the existing transaction or you get the traceback I attached to original post. Instead the code creates a timer task that actually invokes taskService.complete. This gives the engine a chance to complete the transaction.

Unfortunately, this is a bit hacky and requires use of internal code.
