Issue
- Is it possible to re-assign a Workflow task?
-
Consider the following scenario:
- A user assigns a workflow task to themselves
- This user resigns/disappears/goes on holiday without processing the task at hand
- The task becomes to be urgent
Resolution
- Liferay covers the functionality to reassign a Workflow task, even if the assigned user is absent
- Out-of-the-box any user, with Administrator role, can assign/re-assign and approve a task which was triggered by the "Single Approver" workflow
