HELP ! Setting Multiple Assignees on the fly!

I kind of hit a wall with Activiti with this one- I need to pass multiple assignees in a task, but the current user chooses the next people. I did it for just one person, but I can't find why I can not do the same thing for more than one person.
It appears as if the object picker selects only the first person and leaves all the rest.
I have created person association in my custom model shown below:

<aspect name="swf:assignees1">
   <associations>
         <association name="swf:assignees1">
         <source>
            <mandatory>false</mandatory>
            <many>false</many>
         </source>
         <target>
            <class>cm:person</class>
            <mandatory>false</mandatory>
            <many>true</many>
         </target>
      </association>
   </associations>
</aspect>   
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Then in the current task i set the value of the swf:assignees1 field to a variable in the process. This is so that the next task will use the collection swf_assignees1 with variable assignee reviewAssignee

execution.setVariable('swf_assignees1',task.getVariableLocal('swf_assignees1'));
‍‍‍

But in the end I only end up getting only the first value.

Can somebody help me? This is very important for the project I am currently working on.

Thank you in advance,
Irena

considering this: "I need to pass multiple assignees in a task"

I understand you want to have a UserTask (t1) which should be assigned to multiple users (u1, u2, u3)
now I ask you: What do you expect to see in my tasks of each assigned user and what's happening when one of these users will complete the task?

maybe the current "candidate users" implementation does satisfy your needs ?
