Let me explain the business case in more detail - We have a series of such similar (same assignment handler class) task nodes in our process definition - At each task node, the assignment handler talks finds out who the assisgnees are and assisgns them. The assignees may be different at each task node. If, say, assignee A completes the task at one node, and further down, the same assignee again resolves as one of the assignees, then the task should be considered "implicitly" finished by him - This was the reason why I was having a check in my assignment handler and ending the task right there. If not in the assignment handler - is there anywhere else, or on some other event, that I can end the task ? We may have as many as 10 - 15 task nodes - If I were to have a decision before each such task node, wouldn't that make it look more complicated ? Is there a better way out ?
