Assign a Workflow User Task to multiple users

wattsshane — Thu, 03 Feb 2022 08:34:25 GMT

In my custom workflow, I want to assign a user Task to multiple users so I have set a variable

execution.setVariable('assigneeList', ['admin','signer1']);

even tried execution.setVariable('assigneeList', [admin,signer1]);

And this is multiInstanceLoopCharacteristics code

<multiInstanceLoopCharacteristics isSequential="false" activiti:collection="assigneeList" activiti:elementVariable="assignee">
</multiInstanceLoopCharacteristics>

I am not able to assign my list of users in the workflow , I am getting errors . Can anyone please help me how I can assign the above list of users to a user Task.

Error 1Error 2

Try using the Java approach:

var ArrayList = Java.type("java.util.ArrayList");
var assigneeList= new ArrayList;
assigneeList.add("admin");
assigneeList.add("signer1");
execution.setVariable("assigneeList", assigneeList);

Dear Angel ,

Thanks for your response, Im getting Java error after following your method

This is my listener

<activiti:taskListener event="complete" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.tasklistener.ScriptTaskListener">
<activiti:field name="script">
<activiti:string><![CDATA[

--"-----"------"-----------------------

var ArrayList = Java.type("java.util.ArrayList");
var assigneeList= new ArrayList;
assigneeList.add("admin");
assigneeList.add("signer1");
execution.setVariable("assigneeList", assigneeList);
]]></activiti:string>
</activiti:field>
</activiti:taskListener>

Kindly assist on this.

Why are you using "Java.type"?

You may try this approach: https://github.com/flowable/flowable-engine/blob/main/modules/flowable-secure-javascript/src/test/resources/test-secure-script-task-listener.bpmn20.xml#L19
