Is there a better way to do this? I'm trying to assign the actor in a task-assign event in an ActionHandler, as so: 1. Set the group of pooled actors using a swimlane. (Uses our custom expression assignment handler to fetch the users from LDAP). 2. Create a process variable which contains a string containing the actorId to be assigned. 3. On 'task-assign', go to the custom action handler and check that the actor id in the process variable exists in the group of pooled actors, and if so, set the actorId on the task instance. My problem here is that this then fires another 'task-assign' event, which then goes into the action handler again and sets the actorId again, and then... recursively does this until we stack overflow. I have tried using the 'task-create' event, however it seems that this gets fired before the expression assignment handler (so LDAP isn't queried for the pooled actors).
