Is there a way to update the Process Initiator property during runtime? We're facing a problem with the e-mail notifications being sent from within our long-running process: since 'the current user assignment' is usually passed around several times during the lifecycle of the process, but the e-mails can only be sent as "initiator", and since subprocesses can only be run as "initiator" (and not expressionable to the current task owner stored in a PV), the e-mails always end up with a "From:" value equal to the one user who happened to kick off the process (but not necessarily the user who actually "sent" the notification). Any suggestions would be appreciated....

Mike - Are you using the Send Email smart service? If so, maybe you can set up a custom email sender for the messages:

Correct, we're using the send email smart service (rather extensively). The custom sender idea looks intriguing, but I'm wondering if there's any chance a new custom sender could refer to an existing PV? I realize this would require the process model to have a PV with the exact name in question, but that would be manageable if it would work.

Yes, you can configure a custom email sender that uses a pv to define the sender.
