Hi!

There is support for it in the bpmModel.xml for single and multiple assignees and also single and mulitple groups
Basically they use the "bpm:assignees" property instead of "bpm:assignee"
There is also an example workflow that allows you to select a group and then assign a task to each member of the group, take a look at the "Group Review & Approve" workflow.

Cheers,

Erik

Thanks Erik and Gavin. As a nub with workflows in Alfresco, any input on the exact steps to copy an existing workflow like the Adhoc one (files, where to put them, etc) as a starting point to create a new one would be appreciated. I'm just starting to read thru the jBPM stuff and had a request for a tweak to the Adhoc workflow so need a jump start so to get them "impressed" with Alfresco before they wander off to SharePoint and Nintex.

Thanks.

Common all. Someone throw me a bone so I can get started learning this.

Thanks.
