Create task in workflow which is running on a custom table

[G Balaji]

Hi,

I have an custom application that is running on a custom table. This custom table is not extending task table. Now I have a requirement where a task has to be created through workflow. I understand that a task cannot be created through workflow if the table is not extended from task.

I'm not sure if I could create my custom table extending task table because apart from creating task through workflow there is no reason for me to extend task table. 

Which is the best practice to follow?

1. My custom table extending task table for the sake of creating task in workflow or

2. Is there any other alternative to create task without extending task table from my custom table.

Thanks.

Thanks for the response, Pranay.

Could I insert in task table also since my custom application is not anyways related to incident.

Also, should I maintain a seperate table for my custom tasks or should I use OOB task table? I'm not sure if there would be any negative impact if I use OOB task table. Please throw some light on this.

Thanks again.

Yes you can insert in task table,and you can use OOTB task table.

if you want's to create separate table for your "custom table task " then it should be extends by task table,

to make a relation b/w custom_task table and task table.

so your custom task table will show result from task table.

if you have any doubt then look task table and incident_task table and there relation maintaining.
