Start a task automatically as soon as the user assigns the task

Daniel

Hello,
is it possible to start a task automatically as soon as the user assigns the task (i.e. parks the task)?

The user case is as follows: A task is offered to several users and as soon as a user assigns the task to himself (parks it), the system should automatically start the task. Ideally, the task opens directly and the user can start working on it. But it would also be ok if the status simply changes to IN-PROGRESS.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the interesting use case.

A functionality in which the task is automatically started as soon as it is parked by a user, has not yet been implemented. However, it would be possible to extend the portal to include another option (e.g. “Park and Start”) in addition to the “Park” functionality, which starts the task immediately after parking. Here you can expand the portal yourself or (if this feature makes sense for the masses), we can add this as a standardized feature into the portal (Link to the Portal-Repository).

I hope this helps.

Thank you and best regards,
Elio
