Hi,

I’m using BonitaStudioCommunity-7.6.0 and my new requirement is to change the actor already assigned to a task when a timeout has been reached.

(i.e: assign the approval of holiday request to the manager supervisor in case of the manager doesn’t answer)

Could you please provide some guidance to this task?

Thanks,  
Jose.

Hello Jose,  
You can reassign tasks in the Administrator console. For more information see:

Thanks for your help!  
I need to do it in a Groovy script of a task.  
Thanks,  
Jose

In a groovy script

apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().assignUserTask(userTaskId, userId)

Obviously, you’ll need the id of the task and user in order to make it work

Thanks a lot Joe… and what about for iterating on all active tasks in order to reassign any? (groovy, please)
