Hi,

Could you also use an multi-instance embedded sub process for your use case?
Then you can place the tasks that the user should do all in the multi-instance sub process.
In that way you would get the behavior that the other user tasks are not deleted.

Best regards,

Hi Tijs, thanks for the answer.

The problem with your solution is that this way every task would execute as multi instance, right? But in my case, the Task A needs to be executed as multi instance, but the Task B don't. Think for example a manager (Task B), waiting his employes to fill a form (Task A). As soon as one employee complete the Task A, the manager will have a Task B to evaluate the answers from everyone, even if not all of them are completed, but the employees can still fill that form (Task A) until the manager complete his Task B.

Am I being clear? Sorry for my english .

What about a multi-instance sub-process that contains those 2 tasks?
