Hi,
I have a similar use case, where reminder emails need to be sent if the user task is not completed in 3 days. The user task on which the timer is attached is a multi instance parallel task. The user task itself should not be cancelled on the time trigger. I have attached the boundary timer to my concurrent approval task and have a sequence flow to an end event. I tried setting the cancelActivity to "false" and it threw exception every 3mins(have this set for testing purpose) , interestingly if I set the cancelAcitivity to "true", it works and the workflow ends. Is there any other setting I might be missing to attach the timer to a multi instance user task?
Below have copy/pasted my workflow config:
</sequenceFlow>
<boundaryEvent id="boundarytimer1" name="Timer" attachedToRef="concurrentApproval" cancelActivity="false">
<timerEventDefinition>
<timeDuration>PT3M</timeDuration>
</timerEventDefinition>
</boundaryEvent>
<endEvent id="endevent2" name="End"></endEvent>
<sequenceFlow id="flow27" sourceRef="boundarytimer1" targetRef="endevent2">
