Querying for tasks having candidate groups and being already assigned

[Cristian Cerb]

If I query for tasks having candidate groups using TaskQuery.taskCandidateGroupIn(List<String> candidateGroups), but unassigned yet, the API gives me back all those user tasks that qualify. If I assign any of these task and then I query by groups using TaskQuery.taskCandidateGroupIn(List<String> candidateGroups), the assigned tasks will be excluded from the results of the query. Is there a way other that using custom queries to retrieve all tasks that have candidate groups, even if already claimed?

Hi Cristian,

No, there is not. The task query SQL statement explicitly checks that the assignee is null for these tasks. You are invited to provide a pull request though :)

Best regards,

Thorben,

This will make you smile, we are still using CVS, we will switch to git soon, I hope. I am not familiar enough with git. :)
