Activiti inside a group structure

Hello
Activiti is really great.
But in my opinion there is a lack in the historic of workflow in an organization with complex groups.
Let me explain.
Suppose that a user U is part of two groups A and B corresponding to two departments. If U submits a workflow when working for the entity A and it does the same thing for the entity B, there is no way to retrieve the entity under which U has done the work. If the group is known at start (via the login for example, or during session with the possibility to U to change its group) then just save group information in the history tables (and too in RU tables to retrieve this information later) would solve the (my) problem.
Is this behavior is expected in a future release? Otherwise I would try to implement it.
Many thanks

There is nothing planned for this. As user can belong to a lot of groups, not easy to store this in history. You should use a process-variables identifying the group you want, these can be queried in history…
