Hi,

We use activiti 5.22 version activiti jars.

There is one scenario where in, user needs to cancel a task in the bpmn process.

Consider below scenario:

Start --> Task1 -->  Task2 --> Task3 -->End

So above process has three sequential task, in which Task1 is in pending status, and Task2 and Task3  are not yet initiated.

So the question here is, can a non-initiated user task (Task2 or Task3) be marked as cancelled or completed in advance, so that when the Task2/Task3 are encountered, it automatically by-passes those tasks and directly next task in the sequence is activated.

Thank you.

No - this is where exclusive gateways would typically be used to skip over any task that no longer needs to be executed.
