Hi Mauricio, Thanks for the details. Could u please suggest a possible solution to make it work (Preferably with swimlanes). One solution in my mind was to keep the Id of the assigning manager and group in a process variable. ManagerUser task will have actor and group attributes as follows. 1. Actor => #{piManager} 2. GroupID => #{piProcurementManagerGroup} Flow 1 When for the first time flow comes to the ManagerUser, the #{piManager} will return an empty String "" and #{piProcurementManagerGroup} will return the groupId = "procurement". a. #{piManager} = "" b. #{piProcurementManagerGroup} = "procurement" In this flow the task will be assigned to the "procurement" group and will be available to claim. Flow 2 When flow leaves ManagerUser task it will populate the value of #{piManager} and will clearOff the val;ue of #{piProcurementManagerGroup}. So values will be as follows c. #{piManager} = "alex_manager" d. #{piProcurementManagerGroup} = "" Now when the flow comes again to ManagerUser after submission from SubOrdinate UserTask, the task will be directly assigned to "alex_manager" user. As group is empty and there is only one user left for assignment, task will be directly assigned to "alex_manager" in RESERVED status. NOTE : I was hoping to have a simpler solution without having to implement this logic in script variables or in process definition.\ Regards, Zahid From: rules-users-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto:rules-users-bounces@lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of Mauricio Salatino Sent: 02 September 2013 15:41 To: Rules Users List Subject: Re: [rules-users] JBPM : Need solution with SwimLane Yeah, because as far as I know that's not the intention of a swimlane. The main idea is taht if you have multiple tasks in the same swimlane all of them will be assigned to the same actor, but in this case you have only one task in the swim lane and then you are going into the swimlane again, so it will create a new context again.. and that's the expected behavior as far as I know.

Hi Mauricio, That could be the solution but it will add a lot of extra userTasks in my workflows. Is there any solution planned for this or is it worth solving.
