Hi,

I am working with Alfresco EE 3.2r.

I have implemented a timer on a multilevel workflow.
For Example: There are 2 assignees 'A' and 'B'. If 'A' does not approve in a stipulated time the workflow is assigned to 'B'

Now, the timer expires and the workflow moves to 'B', however 'A' is still able to see the task in 'My Tasks to do' list..Can it be moved to 'My completed tasks'??

Here is the processdefinition.xml that i am using:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<process-definition xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1" name="wfl:lifecycleapproval">

            <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
                <!– Apply the Workflow Lifecycle Aspect (wfl:status) if not set already. Note: The default wfl:status property is draft –>
                <script>
         
                    for (var i = 0; i &lt; bpm_package.children.length; i++)
                    {
                       if (!bpm_package.children[i].hasAspect("wfl:status"))
                       {
               
                          bpm_package.children[i].addAspect("wfl:status");
                       }
