Assigning task

[etp]

We are trying to build a process flow which can be started by any user and the first (user) task is not assigned to any particular individual or group.

1. Is it possible by default to assign the first task to the user who starts a process? Eg: UserX
2. Can one of the user tasks in the process flow be assigned to the user who starts the process, in this case UserX?

Any help is much appreciated.

That isn’t a problem,
You can use the Initiator field on the start event to put the user who started the process into a variable.

You can then use that variable in the assignee field of the first task.

Thank you. Works!
