If number of groups will always remain static then: you can fork the process with an inclusive gateway, for each group selected the respective task will be executed.

Iff the number of groups may vary in future:

The Multi-instance for a task also works with list as an argument.

After your group selection task, create a list of selected participant groups, pass this list (e.g. group_participants) to the Collection (Multi-instance) property of the userTask. add an element variable of desired name (e.g. participant). In the Task Assignment select Candidate groups and add the element variable as an expression ${participant}

Note: The list of Participants must be list of string containing group ids (as selected by the user).

Thanks Abbas Kararawala‌ for your reply. You mean to say I need to write a java TaskListner where I will create the list of use Ids and set them in the next multi user tasks?

Yes, a java-based taskListener will do the work. You'll have to add this on completion of the userTask where the groups are being selected.

How can I get the group IDs from the group names? As I have check boxes with group name, in Task listener I will get their names and then need to find the group Id from the name. Do you have any idea. Thank you

You can query the groups based on group name.

If you've created a custom field for fetching groups, why not bring the group ids as well.

Hi,

Have you got any solution to this? I'm facing the same problem, i.e. How to get the groupId from the group names. Thank you.
