Using User Input Task Activity Node with an expression based task assignment to assign task to groups

Issue: Set re-assignment privileges for assignees in task node changing to default rights (Can reassign the task to anyone) even on using other rights,while using expression based assignment

Task Assignment Expression Used : if(testCondtion, getgroupbyname("ABC_Location_475"), getgroupbyname("ABC_Location_145") )

ABC_Location_# groups already exist in Appian

Is it not possible to have expression based assignment with changed re-assignment privileges ? or group functions is causing some issues ?

Thanks,
Abhinav

Hi abhinavg, I see what you are saying now - and also am able to reproduce this issue in my environment (7.10) - would be worth sending to support.

If assignment is set using either getgroupbyname() or getgroupnamed(), reassignment privilages will not save. Other functions do not seem to cause this issue. As a work-around, can you set the assignment to a group variable in a prior node, then use that variable for assignment on the task? This should allow you to set reassignment privileges correctly.
