Description

(I think SetNextAssignees was implemented..)

Two new Actions "SetNextAssignees" and "SetNextDueDate" should allow to influence the values of the next node that gets executed. This is helpful, when we want to select the owner of the next step, that needs to do a different activity.

We could implement this in two different ways:

  • we remember the nextAssignee and nextDueDate in the current process node (requires extra fields in the table) and set them, when the next node gets created
  • we put nextAssigneees and nextDueDate into simple process variables and distinguish between "before actions" and "after actions" in interactive nodes. Before actions are executed automatically before the items becomes visible in the worklist. the before actions" the set

This functions should not be used for delegation, because when we delegate a node to a new user, we just set a new assignee, but do not move to a new node.
