How to return to the start node

[icefox]

Hello, how can I return to the initiator? Because the start node cannot be returned, I can only create a new initiator node for return

Hi @icefox,

• In your start event, set initiator attribute to the value initiator so a process variable named “initiator” would be automatically created on the start of the process and holds the value of the initiator.

• Create an extra user task and set assignee attribute to #{initiator}.

• Now you can draw the outgoing sequence flows to return to this extra user task.

Thank you for your reply. Is that what you mean

[icefox]

After the initiator initiates the application, the approver of the first step is the initiator himself, which is obviously unreasonable. Should this step be skipped automatically

[icefox]

Should this flow chart be drawn like this

[hassang]

Yes, your last model is the correct model

Ok.Thank you for your reply
