Assigning task to bunch of users using activiti API

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Dear Developers,

Can you please help with sample code to assign a task to multiple users ( not a single user).

List<String> userList = findUserService.findUsersByTaskLevel(execution,"approveAction");
        for (String userId : userList){
           taskService.addCandidateUser(execution.getId(), userId);
        }

Is this the right way, but this is not working for me.

Hi,
<br>&nbsp; <br>&nbsp; /**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; * Convenience shorthand for {@link #addUserIdentityLink(String, String, String)}; with type {@link IdentityLinkType#CANDIDATE}<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; * @param taskId id of the task, cannot be null.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; * @param userId id of the user to use as candidate, cannot be null.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; * @throws ActivitiObjectNotFoundException when the task or user doesn't exist.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; */<br>&nbsp; void addCandidateUser(String taskId, String userId);<br>
use taskId instead of executionId.
Candidate users are not the same as the assignee.

Martin
