Question

Maximum number of users assigned to a task

I have a situation where we are assigning individual named users to a task from a database by role but the task isn't visible.  When I look at the process instance, there is no error showing with the task itself except there are no assigned users showing in the assignment tab.  Is there a limit to the number of individual users that can be assigned a task? The users are part of groups in Appian but the task is assigned to individual users instead of the group.

    What happens if you use the exact same rules/logic you're currently using for the assignment, but limit it to only 2 or 3 users?  How many users are you attempting to assign at other times?  I don't know about any particular hard limit for this, so I think the first thing to do is confirm that your configuration is actually doing what you expect it to do regardless of the size of the user list.

    When its only 2 or 3 users the task is accessible.  No issues observed.  The number of users varies.

    The task is accessible, and viewing the assignees in the Process Instance shows what you'd expect?

    How about with 5 assignees?  or 10?  And can you clarify how many assignees you're attempting to use in the cases where you're having issues?  It doesn't seem like you mentioned this.
