Ownership of a cgi task following a group task

KeithB

Is it possible to change the ownership of a CGI task that immediately follows a GROUP task because the fact that you have to initially set the owner of a CGI task somewhat negates the use of the previous group task. A member of the group comes along task ownership of the group task the workflow progresses and hey presto the following task disappears because it isnt owned by the person who took the group task.

Are there any command line tools or perl methods to set the ownership of a task once the workflow has been instantiated?

You can set the owner of a task that has not become active yet with the iwsettaskownerandarea CLT. There's also a method in WFtask.pm called SetOwner. You'd need to put an externaltask after your grouptask and before your cgitask in order to perform the ownership change, though. Then you would lose the "immediate" potential for the cgitask, but it looks like you weren't able to utilize that anyway. In order to figure out who took ownership of the grouptask, you'd probably have to parse the output of iwgetwfobj or maybe GetOwner in WFtask.pm will work. If I'm wrong, someone else will chime in.
