Need to pause a task after some specified time

Hi Vivek and Snehal,
tp!owner will give you value once task is submitted/ended i.e. output tab executed. Though task accepted but value will not reflect in process. Only way you can check in task report immediate after task accepted.
So to resolve your problem, I would suggest, ask user any activity or action while accepting a task, so that you can set a boolean flag and parallel rule event can be used to achieve that. Also, you can achieve this by start exception. Thanks

Still I tried the below condition inside Exception>Skip node after specified date and time like below

=if(and(not(isnull(tp!owner)),len(tp!owner)>0),now()+intervalds(0,1,0),now()+10)

but it seems as if its considering tp!owner as null because according to my logic it should move on after one minute but its almost 3 mins and the focus is still on task form

When I try to configure the condition directly into Exception tab then at that time I'm not getting the option of Task Properties, It only gives the option of Process Properties and Process Model Properties.

Can you please directly use tp!owner in your Exception condition instead of trying to save it in a PV?

Hi Sneha,

I tried saving the tp!owner value inside input tab but still the result is same

Hi Vivek,
Output Tab executes when User submits the task.
Can you try saving the tp!owner value in Input Tab?

Hello Sneha,

I tried your approach but it seems to be not working. I mean the variable still remain null when I accept the task. I created a process variable called owner_txt and saved the value of tp!owner into this variable under form>Output tab.

Hi Vivek,

The task property tp!owner gets value when the task is accepted. So you can add a condition to check whether tp!owner is not null. If it is not null then only trigger the 12 hour exception or timer.

Hope this helps.
