Hello,

the variable bpm_assignee inside the workflow / task does not seem to be set, that is why the error is a PropertyNotFoundException. If these are custom workflows (custom definitions), then please check any custom logic and form config you have added to ensure that bpm_assignee is being set where it needs to be set. If the workflow in question is a default workflow (provided by Alfresco) then try to reproduce it with a step-by-step account of what you have done so that you can file an issue in <a href="http://issues.alfresco.com">Alfresco JIRA</a>.

Hi Axel:

There has been no customization to this installation, no custom workflows, and these are the default workflows provided by Alfresco.
The only thing I did is set-up Alfresco-system and share for SSO and LDAP for user registry synchronization.

I will file an issue with Alfresco JIRA.
Thanks for your response,
Keith Smith
