Task Owner in Job Specification File

We are using a Job Specification File to instantiate a workflow dynamically. This is a static file which we create and keep. How do we change the owner for subsequent tasks. I can't omit the owner attribute, thus whatever owner was specified during initial instantiation of job spec file, is displayed (in our workflow report). The owner for each task (we are using external tasks mainly) is a required attribute. How can i ensure that the correct owner i.e. the person who actually called the task - his\her name gets reflected in the task.
I would appreciate any insights\help. Thanks.

You need to have an external task which runs a script which automatically changes the owner ship

Or you could have whatever process that runs the iwjobc on the job spec first apply some regexes to supply the proper values for the owner attributes on the tasks.

Or, you could also use
$iwhome/bin/iwjobvariable -g tsk_user $wfid
to get the owner's name. Where, $wfid is the workflow ID. This has to be used in the external task script.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
