How can I see the user task ID in Operate?

Camunda 8 Topics Discussion & Questions

Hello,

given the following situation: there is an active process instance with an active user task. I open the process instance in Operate. Is there a way to see the user task ID within the Operate GUI?

I see the Flow Node Instance Key, however this is not the task ID. When I try to enter it into the Tasklist GUI URL, it doesn’t work.

Many thanks and kind regards

Hi @bpmnenthusiast

Yes, You can.
Here are the steps:

  • Open the process instance view
  • Select the user task from the tree view
  • Click on the View button of the Details pop-up window
  • Search for userTaskKey attribute

Hi @hassang ,

many thanks for your quick and helpful answer.

Unfortunately my user tasks don’t have this attribute. This is how a user task looks for me:

Do you maybe know what the reason for this difference might be?

Hi @bpmnenthusiast

To show up, the user task has to be of type Zeebe user task

Hi @hassang,
thank you!

However, it is indeed a Zeebe user task. Do you know what else would influence this?

Many thanks and kind regards

Hi @bpmnenthusiast,

Hi @Alex_Voloshyn ,

thanks for looking into this.

I tested with the smallest possible example and the userTaskKey still doesn’t appear for me:

Can you upgrade your Camunda platform to 8.5.6+ version? (I’m using 8.5.6 and can’t reproduce this problem)
