DelegateTask.setAssignee not setting claim time

In a listener, I am using delegateTask.setAssignee but it doesn't set claim_time_ field in the act_ru_task table.

Is it correct behaviour?

Solution

  • Yes this is expected. the claim_time in act_ru_task only gets updated if a user "claims" the task which is under a candidate group or users assignment. To update this field you need to claim the task using taskService.claimTask(taskId, userId).

    delegateTask.setAssignee(userId) is equivalent to setting an assignee in process model.
