Set User Task owner via bpmn

Further to: How to set User task Owner?.

I understand that the “owner” is set as the first assignee.

However, we have the following use-case:

For each and every User Task:

  • there is someone who is primarily responsible for its completion. (which maps well to owner)
  • there is a list of Candidate Users (people who could work on this task if the Primary Owner is busy on other task(s)
  • we want the lack of assignee to indicate this task can be picked up by a candidate user

If we could set owner directly from the bpmn, that would be great.

Is this possible?

“owner” seems to be an odd or incomplete concept.

I cannot see Task owner in the task list.
I cannot set it in the bpmn. (need code)
I haven’t been able to figure out how to set it at all without code.

Is it a core feature or an afterthought?
