Hi

I did a similar Scenario in my Process .

In a particular task, the User was asked to choose a name from a list.  
Upon selecting the Particular person , the task would be Allocated to him Only.

You could Return the Name of the Person to whom you want to Assign the task to.

Save the Value inside a Variable ( Process Variable)  
Then Assign the next task to that person .  
I achieved this by Using a Actor Filter.

Here demandHeads is a Process variable where the name of the Person to whom the task should be assigned is saved .

import org.bonitasoft.engine.api.IdentityAPI;  
import org.bonitasoft.engine.identity.User;

IdentityAPI identity = apiAccessor.getIdentityAPI();  
User user = identity.getUserByUserName(demandHeads);

return user.getId();

Hope this helps

Hello,  
Can you explain and give more details please? What do you mean by “at the end”: automatic reassignation,…?  
Thanks,
