Set assignee is required before claiming a task by candidate user

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

In UserTask, i have mentioned candidate users as (kermit,john,thomson) three users.

Now if i want to complete a task through rest api means i have to claim a task for any of these candidate users (kermit,john,thomson).

In this case set assignee is required before claiming a task? or task can be completed if i claim a task for any of the user in candidate users list?

Hi @aravindhrs,

claiming a task will set the assignee in the engine.

But the engine didn’t check the assignee when completing. But in the Camunda Tasklist only for the assignee is the complete button enabled.

Here is the lifecycle of a user task: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.9/webapps/tasklist/task-lifecycle/.

Hope this helps, Ingo
