Overriding Take Ownership functionality?

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.

Please see my process definition file.

The idea is I have an article and its submitted to a
1. either single content producer.. or a
2. pool of content producers..

when the user selects to submit it to a pool of content producers.. a particular content producer can "Take Ownership" of the article or assign some other Producer to it.  The assigning part works fine and the workflow is transitioned to the swimlane "singleproducer". what I want is when the content producers press Take Ownership.. I need the workflow to transition to the "singleproducer " swimlane too.. and its not happening currently..it just is stuck there in the same swimlane i.e "multipleproducers"

could anybody suggest me how I can manage to do that? following is my processdef.

thanks in advance

Can I clarify you would like the workflow to automatically move to the next step when the user presses the 'Take Ownership' button.

Normally, the behaviour associated with this action is just to take ownership - i.e. the task will dissappear from the inbox of all others in the pool.

There isn't anyway to simply override this behaviour in the web client - certainly not via the process definition.
