I can't replicate this in 19.1 - the reassign button is correctly hidden after each save loop for me. I would suggest attempting to replicate in your environment with a small test model, and posting a few screen shots of your configuration. Which version of Appian are you on?

We use this logic in a number of places as well. Aside from the aforementioned DB persisting, should we need to store documents or reset escalation timers, looping out and back in is necessary.

Thanks Peter and Mike. As, Mike mentioned this is the reason we were not able to use "Save Draft" operation, but my concern is even if the reassignment privilege in the user input task is set to "none" then why the re-assign tab gets visible when the basic user open it from task list? Am I missing something?

Good point - I know there are good reasons to not use the OOTB save (just like Mike mentioned). However, it's always useful to think about whether it's necessary to custom-make a solution. The OOTB save is a single checkbox, while a custom solution like this requires more testing and maintenance.

well, i can think of a variety of reasons - mainly centered around the fact that they may wish the "save" operation populate some data to DB, which unfortunately we have no way of controlling using the OOB "Save" button.

Is there a reason you are using a "Save and Exit" button instead of using the out-of-the-box saving option?

Hi,

No, this is a standalone process.

Once the user clicks on "Save and Exit". The information is saved and the task is available in "My Task" .

Hi,

Is the process containing this task called as a subprocess from another process model?

If yes, please check the assignment of the subprocess where it is configured, the assignment should be "run as whoever started the process".

If it is "Run as whoever designed the process model", it will run as designer who published the process model recently and it will show this Reassign option.

Thanks,

Anupriya.

I am testing from basic user.

Are you testing as a basic user or as a system admin user, just out of curiosity?
