Applies To

  • Windchill PDMLink 11.1 to 12.0

Description

  • Reassign to Responsible Role is not working when multiple Users are added as Participants in the Workflow Template 
  • If one of the Users completes the Task/Activity before a deadline, the same Tasks created for other Users (which are part of a Role added as Participant in the respective Workflow) do not get reassigned even when Reassign to Responsible Role is set in the Workflow.
  • Steps to reproduce:
    1. Add following values in Deadline tab of activity

    6. Complete relevant tasks and get the task with deadline.
    7. 4 tasks with different assignees would be there.
      • Complete one task within deadline and wait for others to get reassigned after overdue deadline.

    8. After the deadline passes, now all the open tasks should have been reassigned to responsible role, but only one of them is reassigned, others are assigned to the original assignee.
      • We can see the reassignment history in task history table
