Flow Node Type

what is the difference between HUMAN_TASK, USER_TASK and MANUAL_TASK

Hi @scottyang!

The naming varies according to where you see it, as behind they correspond to classes names and their implementation. HumanTask is the mother class of UserTask & ManualTask.
UserTask is used inside a process at design-time, whereas a ManualTask is created on-the-fly (like in Case Management) and are not part of the original design. They serve the purpose of adding on-demand tasks that could not be foreseen during design.

Functionally we could say the three of them represent the same thing: a task to be done by a human being, who in fact is a user of the system, who does the task by himself, so manually.

Hope this helps.
Cheers!
