Assign first task to start user

Hi Stephen,

are these the lines you are looking for?

camunda/camunda-bpm-platform/blob/master/engine/src/main/java/org/camunda/bpm/engine/impl/persistence/entity/ExecutionEntity.java#L387-L393


  if (initiatorVariableName != null) {
    String authenticatedUserId = Context.getCommandContext().getAuthenticatedUserId();
    setVariable(initiatorVariableName, authenticatedUserId);
  }
}


// create event subscriptions for the current scope

If you start a process by java api, you need to call identityService.setAuthenticatedUserId() first to fill the value.

Maybe its a just a feature for convenience if you start your process directly from the camunda tasklist.

Cheers, Ingo
