Failed to signal transition 'null' from workflow task

This message is frequently generated when there is a workflow syntax or other problem with the workflow definition. Further down in the log and perhaps the last error in the log is usually the real issue. Posting more of the log may help find the problem.

I now know that the problem has to do with retrieving the groupname in my processdefinition.xml. That's the usr:authorityName part of the XML. It seems like 3.2 has another definition for retrieving the groupname. In 3.0 and 3.1 I can get the groupname through javascript using "usr:authorityName" and 3.2 I get null.

Any help on this?

Regards,
Jenny

I don't know what would make this not work in v3.2, but try changing the statement a little to see if that help. Just a guess.

var group = bpm_groupAssignee.properties["usr:authorityName"];

Try this:

bpm_groupAssignee.properties.userName;
