[pmrreddy]

Hi all

I am using Community Edition 4.0.d in that i desinged a workflow process through activiti.

In the usertask when i assigned to activiti:candidateGroups="GROUP_approve"  task is not assigning to approve group people, even not displaying any  errors. please help me to solve the issue

Thanx

Can you include your workflow model? Without it we cannot be of much assistance. Also, the entire userTask element from your BPMN process definition would help.

Did you ever get this working? Are you still using 4.0d?
