How can I get the users & groups from "sharedby"

How can I get the list of users and groups that a specific group task has in it's sharedby. I have a CSTask object but I can't find any reference to "getSharedby" or "getUsers" or "getGroups" or anything like that. I see how to change the list (add/delete) but not get.

Unfortunately there is no method to actually list the users/groups that own/share a group task.

I tend to agree with you on this. My work-around is not too bad, I'll just store the shared by information in a task variable and get it that way - but wouldn't you think that would be an option so you could check before removing or adding a new user/group?

Thanks.

Actually, you need not check before removing or adding a user/group. An error is flagged only in cases where the user/group is invalid.

I actually have two different reasons to wanting to do this:
1) when a group task has not been picked up by anyone within 4 business hours I wanted to send an e-mail to anyone who can pick it up.

2) In the task before the group task - send an e-mail to all parties involved that there is a task waiting for them.

Now I'll just store the distribution list in a task variable and keep it up to date with the users/groups in the shared by. Just a bit of overhead I didn't want to deal with. Oh well.

I still have an open case with support - It will end up on a feature request list.

As expected - feature request ID 58042

very interesting that they created a feature request for this...

if you look in WFtask.pm, the following function is included:
-----
=head2 GetSharedBy(\@users, \@groups)

Returns the users and groups that share this task as lists of strings.

Example:

my @users;
my @groups;
$task->GetSharedBy(\@users, \@groups);
print "Users: ", join(", ", @users), "\n";
print "Groups: ", join(", ", @groups), "\n";

=cut

this snippet is from TS 6.1, but I can't imagine they'd have removed it for 6.5?

This is one of those rare, enjoyable cases where the functionality exists in the Perl "API" but it doesn't exist in the CSSDK (apparently) - and that's what the FR is about.
