Assign Task to a group Member

[jarrett]

Hello,

I am currently trying to assign a task to a member of a group with minimal success. The goal is during an advanced workflow to allow user_one to pick the name of a user from a drop down list of group members from within the 'Task Properties' and have the task be assigned to a user who is a member of the group. I am successful when I invite each member of the group to the space individually but if I invite the group as a whole to the space only the name of the group shows in the drop down and causes an error when I try to move the workflow forward.

Definition:

    <swimlane name="Analyst">
                <assignment class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment">
                        <pooledactors>#{people.getGroup('GROUP_Analyst')}</pooledactors>
                </assignment>
    </swimlane>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

Constraint:

         <constraint name="ygrd:AnalystConstraint" type="com.efoundry.alfresco.constraints.GroupMembersConstraint"> 
             <parameter name="allowedValues"> 
                <list><value>Analyst</value></list> 
             </parameter> 
         </constraint> 
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks in advance for any information or ideas

Hello I tried change the pooled actors to #{bpm_groupAnalyst} and everything worked well once….

[zt_trox]

i try to deploy my own workflow with constraint type="com.efoundry.alfresco.constraints.GroupMembersConstraint". I caught exception
The type of constraint ' com.efoundry.alfresco.constraints.GroupMembersConstraint ' for constraint ' kk:AnalystConstraint ' is not familiar type or admissible realization of constraint

I need to implement this "…pick the name of a user from a drop down list of group members…".
Advice is necessary
