I just was creating a sample appian project which adds task to different roles. I found that the appian adds a accept or reassign slider on the header by default.
What must I do to remove it or change any similar things which are part of the appian framework.
I found that they are basically java based applications. So is it possible that I can edit the project in a IDE like eclipse.
Any guidance as to where to look at to customize everything about a appian project is much appreciated.
Thanks

While many portions of the Appian platform are based on Java, modifying the base product code is not supported in anyway. It can also lead to you not being able to upgrade in the future or get assistance from Appian's support team as they will no longer be able to support base product functionality under a customized environment.
Back to your task question, I suggest you look through some of the documentation on how task assignment works within Appian. When assigning a task to a group of users, the individual who will work that task must accept it, thus taking the task out of everyone else's queue. If you are assigning a task to an individual, they will not see the dialog as they are the only user that can access that task.

But can we not just let anyone submit the task without asking them if u accept it or not. I understand thats what takes it away from everyone else's queue. But can we not update other's queue once they are submitted .
So, its not possible to modify that flow when have more than one user assigned to a particular task?
And about the base product code, even if we cannot change the base code , is it possible to add styles or change the code for a form that come with appian.
I am kind of new , so it will be nice if redirect me to a page where i can find ways to customize layouts , and the functionalities and add styles.
The accept button helps to prevent a race condition in the scenario of more than one user trying to complete a task and submit it at the same time. You may be thinking about smaller low risk tasks, but it functions the same in Appian regardless.
You can't modify CSS, but there are ways you can modify the look and feel of an application or interface within the base product. Take a look at the UX Design Guide for some additional information on best practices and ideas on UX things that can be tweaked. If you haven't already started working through the online training videos, it may be beneficial to look at some of the training on interfaces and SAIL.
