As an alternative to the already suggested answers, if you don't want to lock the related actions down until the task is picked up by a member of the assigned group, you could have a button press at the beginning of the task as the first thing the user does after accepting the task. This can kick off a write to the database to lock down the related actions on the record until the task is completed or some other condition is met.

Hi sridhars,

We had a same requirement in our project, so what we did was we persisted a row in a table using the name and the action he is doing with status of the action. And when some other user comes and click on the action we show him a UI stating that this RA is already been worked upon by the user.

If i understand it right, if a user has basically initiated a related action then the user who open the same record should not see the related action is that right?

If this is the requirement, it is straight forward implementation, where you can have checks done based on the database. Let's say if a record is treated as a Issue 1, then the related actions can be treated as sub tasks for this Issue 1.

When the user initiated the related action, you can update the status in DB as in progress . Based on this status , you can hide/display the related action to other users.

You can hide related actions if a task has an owner.

you can't hide Related action for a user or group.
if you want, you can show some error message using some user input task saying
"you can not access this task"
