You don't need to abandon it completely. It is possible to do with the following plugin: [View:https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/task-management-smart-services]

But you will need to disable the built-in reassignment.

In my conversations with clients, I typically identify an interesting misconception around reassignment. People think, that reassignment is meant to allow task workers to collaborate on completing a task. That is NOT what it is meant for. Appian reassignment is meant to support in finding the right person for a given task, but not for collaboration.

For a task that requires more than a single task worker, I add a separate button to allow a user to get support from others.

That is just my 50 cents on that, but this concept helps me a lot in building clean applications.

Thanks Stefan,
A very mindful hint. 'Reassigning is not for collaboration' - Absolutely true.
