That is the only option.

When I use reassign task can I get the custom log for that reassignment?

Hello guys, do we have any function today to reassign tasks or is our only option to use a!startProcess() and call the reassign smart service in process?

You are welcome.

Thank you all, In fact, we created a process model to do the reassignment and started the process from the sail form using a!startProcess.

Thanks @sikhivahans. Exactly the answer we were looking for.

One option is to display all the active tasks in a grid using a report. Then on selection of the task, display a user picker field and change the Assignee of the Task as per the selection.

Even the bind()/startprocesswrite() aren't the options as they too will kick start a process which actually defies the original requirement.

Also, in my view it may be better to opt for the OOTB a!startProcess() smart service function(rather than going for a Shared Component) provided if only one smart service needs to be executed and the version of Appian is 16.2 or a later one.

I don't think the above-mentioned smart service is an option as it needs a process model again whereas the original requirement is to use a function rather than kick-starting a process.

@karthikeyans I don't think there is any OOTB/Shared Component functionality at the moment that helps you get the requirement accomplished. It might be worth giving the thoughts over the possibility of implementing the 'Reassign Task' smart service or the above-mentioned smart service in the form of a function.

@karthikeyan,

in order to reassign task from the report, you need to do work around using bind(), startprocesswrite() functions.
1)Design a process model that performs reassign task to users based on TaskID using Reassign task smart service,
2)From the report Reassign Button click you need to configure the bind variable with task ids in saveInto field.

Maybe this SAIL recipe may provide some ideas? This would open the users task, and if that user can reassign, the reassign task option would appear, see: forum.appian.com/.../SAIL_Recipes.html
