Question

reassign multiple tasks - best method

I'm trying to learn the best method for reassigning multiple tasks. I've created a process task report, but it only allows re-assignment of a single task at once. I've seen a few posts on the subject, but they are pretty dated. What's the simplest way to achieve the ability to re-assign a handful of tasks?

Thanks in advance!

    I would advise to create a process model that accepts the task id and the assignee and then you can call that PM as a sub process in a loop or MNI. 
    The idea is to isolate the logic of re-assignment in a separate process so it becomes easy to make any changes.

    Hi [mention:b8ea18cfbb2e4f6d841cf3c1d4d7420b:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ,

    I have a similar requirement to reassign multiple tasks to an assignee at once. I have a PM which accepts the Task IDs and assignee, then calls Reassign Task node as an MNI. This PM is triggered via a!startprocess().
    However, we need to show a success message to the user and so we wait for all nodes to run and send a success flag back to the interface, which shows confirmation message. This requires the MNI to be activity chained, which is not great!
    Could you please suggest what could be alternate approaches in this case, other than not waiting for success flag of course?
