Assignee field - Current user

BPMN & Modeling Discussion & Questions
1

I have a UserTask and in the Modeler I set the Assignee field as ${currentUser()}:

   <bpmn:userTask id="Activity_10nkkmp" name="Do something" camunda:asyncAfter="true" camunda:assignee="**${currentUser()}**">
      <bpmn:extensionElements>
        <camunda:formData>
          <camunda:formField id="paramA" label="Value of param A" type="long" defaultValue="8" />
        </camunda:formData>
      </bpmn:extensionElements>
      <bpmn:incoming>Flow_1auako9</bpmn:incoming>
      <bpmn:outgoing>Flow_0ckgrn4</bpmn:outgoing>
    </bpmn:userTask>

But when I log in as Demo, the task is locked, I have to Claim it.
I thought it would be automatically assigned to the logged-in user.
What do I miss?

Thx

Hi @kontrag

It seems there is additional characters in assignee field that you have shared.

it should be : camunda:assignee="${currentUser()}"

it works for me

The ** I put to make it bold.
In my XML it’s
camunda:assignee=“${currentUser()}”

Note that I open Tasklist v7.15.0

Can you share the bpmn model file?

I unchecked “Asynchronous after” from start event and the task is assigned to the current user.
