Question

forms currently assigned user

Forms Version 10

Hi!

I'm wondering if its possible to have a forms process access the 'currently assigned user' as a variable.

We have a process that is started by workflow. it assigns the user based on a variable. after 2 days it will escalate (interrupts and assigns it to them and their supervisor). This all works well.

However.
Withing the 2 day wait period, it may be reassigned it to another user. We would like the automatic escalate process to refer to the new owner of the task, not the original (and their supervisor may be different as well). The 'previous submitter' seems to be the person who submitted the form and i want to use the 'current owner'.

Also, is it possible to lookup/change variables at the process level, without having to assign a form and get the user to open it?

Thanks for the help

Mark

This is something that I am finding as a limitation in a process I am currently designing. Reminder emails and the impact that reassigning has on them. I need a variable for the current task owner not the originally intended task recipient. This is also an issue when reporting a decision in an email notification. I cannot include who actually performed the task in the email only who was originally supposed to perform the task. Big limitation. I realize I could write to a field in the db with a bpid but I shouldn't have to. This should be a variable available out of the box.

Has there been any discussion about this recently? We are also finding that it would be immensely helpful when prepopulating information (eg "Prepared by" field when we want it to save that information to the TIFF in the repository)

Hello,

Can someone please confirm that there is no access to 'currently assigned user' as a variable. I am also in a sitution where this value would be helpful and wanted to ensure I am not overlooking something.

Thanks in advance,

Trevor
