Extra behaviour for Task and TaskQuery

[tstephen]

Hi,

I found http://forums.activiti.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=324&p=1815&hilit=Task+dueDate#p1815 which at the end talks of adding a dueDate to Task and wondered if there is a JIRA for it? I was looking for just this property and like Joram do not think it should do anything. If it could be linked to a boundary timer event that can have outgoing sequence flow modelled by the developer so much the better but I would still see this as useful as just a piece of information for the user about when she or someone else expects to complete a task. Hopefully I'm thinking along similar lines as you?

Also I was thinking that TaskQuery could benefit from taskMinPriority and maxPriority query clauses in addition to priority (equality test). I believe there is precedent for this by looking at the 3 query clauses for createTime (taskCreatedOn, taskCreatedBefore and taskCreatedAfter). As part of the dueDate work I hope we can also expect taskDueOn, taskDueBefore and taskDueAfter in the query interface?

Apologies if this would be better as two separate posts or if I should have continued the earlier thread, please let me know if you'd prefer that.

I am looking at trunk.
regards, Tim

Task dueDate has indeed been added in the 5.4 release, as well as queying dueData, dueBefore and dueAfter + same on historicTaskInstances.

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-564

For the priorityHigher and priorityLower, it's best to file a JIRA issue.

Thanks, here it is: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-725. I'll add a patch shortly I hope.

Hi Frederik (or others),

Not sure on the correct etiquette, I posted a patch a little while ago, should I post here too to let you know? Something else? Just don't want it to be waiting on me

cheers,
Tim
