Block User Task starter from working on a task

Hi!
I have a workflow to approve changes. I have a group MY_GROUP, and only the members of this group can create a process instance for this workflow using Tasklist.

The workflow has a User Task, with a checklist for approving or not a change. I am setting MY_GROUP to the Candidate Group and the workflow starter is a member of MY_GROUP, but I’d like to block the starter from approving his own change request.

Any idea how can this be done?

I thought about revoking permissions for the workflow starter over that task, but I would need to have the task id to do that, right? Can this be done using an Execution Listener on start and some Inline Script?

Thanks

You could do it as a task listener.
When the task is claimed you can check if same user who started the task is trying to claim it and then you could throw an error.
