Is there a way to find out if a task is async, the usecase is if a process has async task then i should throw error to the user. I checked TaskDefinition class there is no api to check if a task is async…

TaskDefinition is only the UserTask-specific bit. Inspect the actual ActivityImpl which is present in the ReadOnlyProcessDefinition (repositoryService):

<br>public interface PvmActivity extends PvmScope {<br>&nbsp; <br>&nbsp; boolean isAsync();<br>
Alternatively, you could add a BPMNParseListener (in 5.12, this will be a slight different name and approach, but the end-result will be the same) and inspect the XML-element or the intermediate model, so you can throw an exception when the process is deployed (as of 5.11):

<br>/**<br> * @author Tijs Rademakers<br> */<br>public class Activity extends FlowNode {<br><br> &hellip;<br><br>&nbsp; public boolean isAsynchronous() {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return asynchronous;<br>&nbsp; }<br>
In case you're using a version prior to 5.11, you can always inspect the "async" attribute in the XML-element, passed in the BPMNParseListeners…
