Hi ,

As my understanding yo want to change the assignment of the associate to Alex through another process.

you can use subprocess sync you can modify the process variables and change the assignment from Smith to Alex.

[quote userid="263789" url="~/discussions/f/process/35168/modify-process-instance-variable-via-a-process-model"]Is it even possible to modify the process variable of a active process instance through a process model smart services.[/quote]

It's not possible through smart services as it runs asynchronously.

There's a plug-in that allows an external smart service to set the value of a variable in a particular instance. It's a little tricky to understand and implement, so I suggest it be used only when nothing else will suffice.

Be aware though that if the task instance is already active and assigned, then simply changing the PV value of the assignee variable won't actually shift the task assignment. For that you'd need to call a different smart service that actually literally reassigns the task.
