Hi,I am working with Alfresco EE 3.2r.I have implemented a timer on a multilevel workflow.For Example: There are 2 assignees 'A' and 'B'. If 'A' does not approve in a stipulated time the workflow is assigned to 'B'Now, the timer expires and the workflow moves to 'B', however 'A' is still able to see

Not sure if this matches your case, but i had a similar problem lately when i wanted to have a <tasknode> that auto-completes itself.
I suppose it is not enough to trigger the leaving transition, you also have to explicitly finish the task.
Here is a small snippet of Javascript, maybe you can make use of that:

        <event type="task-create">
            <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
                <script>
                    logger.log("record-completion::task-create");
                    token = taskInstance.token;
                    logger.log("Token is "
                    + token);
                    lockOwner = token.lockOwner;
                    logger.log("Lock owner is " + lockOwner);
                    token.unlock(lockOwner);
                    logger.log("***
                    Token
                    unlocked ***");
                    taskInstance.end("finalize");
                    logger.log("*** Task ended ***");
               </script>
            </action>
        </event>

Here i used the "task-create" event, but possibly this works from a timer, too….
