Delegating a task to a group is not called "delegating". You need to add an identity-link to the task and set the assignee to nobody, in order to have the task be claimable by other users (show up in candidate-queries).

Adding an candidate group: 'POST runtime/tasks/{taskId}/identitylinks' with body


{
  "groupId" : "sales",
  "type" : "candidate",
}

i have tried to POST to 'runtime/tasks/{taskId}/identitylinks' but its giving me below error

{
errorMessage: "The server is refusing to service the request because the entity of the request is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method"
statusCode: 415
}

What body did you supply to the POST? (and what content-type?)
