Can't assign task to a user in assigned group

palmen — Fri, 13 Mar 2015 15:11:55 GMT

We are building a new application (using the Custom Application).

It's a big workflow with tasks being handed out to different workgroups (we've extended the task-table).

I've encountered a problem though. We have created a lot of new groups and new members should be assigned to these groups.

For some reason if I add "User A" to "Group A", I still can't select that person as "assigned to" on the task after selecting "Group A" as assignment group.

If I give "User A" the itil role, it's possible to assign "User A" as "assigned to".

Why is itil needed to be able to assign someone to the task?

Fredrick,

There might be a reference qualifier on the 'assigned_to' which is blocking to select only ITIL users.

Hi Fredrik,

Mani's right. There is an oob reference qualifier on the assigned to field that restricts it to itil users. It looks like roles=itil. What you can do is add a dictionary override for your custom table and make that reference qualifier field blank without affecting any other OOB tables you may be using.

Thanks for the info, it's a reference qualifier on the assigned to field.
