Hi,

This is now solved. The key is to create a workflow with an initial state and then the next state to be in a pool. When starting the workflow the following does the trick to move it onto the next step (and hence the pool).

String assignee  = "GROUP_artists";
parameters.put(WorkflowModel.ASSOC_ASSIGNEE, assignee);
WorkflowPath path = workflowService.startWorkflow(workflowDef.id, parameters);
Iterator<WorkflowTask> wit = workflowService.getTasksForWorkflowPath(path.id).iterator();
WorkflowTask startTask = wit.next();
workflowService.endTask(startTask.id, null);‍‍‍‍‍‍

Notice the null parameter on the endTask.
