Hi folks,
in such a scenario of two user tasks one for manager approves, after that accountant approves. I would like to get at the acoountants phase which manager completed  task before… is this possible?
              

               <startEvent id="startevent1" name="Start" activiti:initiator="employee">
                …..
               </startEvent>
          <userTask id="usertask1" name="Management handle request" activiti:candidateGroups="management" >
         <documentation>${employee} has requested a refund of ${amount} Euro.
         </documentation>
         ….
      </userTask>

      <userTask id="usertask3" name="Accountancy handle request" activiti:candidateGroups="accountancy">
         <documentation>${employee} has requested a refund of ${amount}
            Euro. ${employee}'s manager has approved.
         </documentation>
      </userTask>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

instead of "${employee}'s manager has approved." something like that ${manager} has approved….

Thanks….

This is possible. You can use a taskListener (event=complete) to copy the approvers username to a shared process-variable. This can be done using a org.activiti.engine.impl.bpmn.listener.ScriptTaskListener, from the top of my head:

<br><activiti:taskListener event="complete" class="org.activiti.engine.impl.bpmn.listener.ScriptTaskListener" ><br>&nbsp; <activiti:field name="script"><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <activiti:string><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; var approvingManager = task.assignee;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; execution.setVariable("approvingManager", approvingManager);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </activiti:string><br>&nbsp; </activiti:field><br>&nbsp; <activiti:field name="language" stringValue="javascript" /><br><activiti:taskListener><br>
Later on in the process the "approvingManager" variable is available to use, for example, in expressions.
