Create Task action for menu button automation
0

Hi,

does anybody know why the action "Create task" can not be chosen in a menu button's automation? This can be seen in the table of this page:
https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Action/#action-groups-and-types

An example use case is to have a button that changes the task assignment to a different person, e.g. the current user.

It is also possible to achieve this with a path going out and in from the same step. But a menu button would be nice too.

Thanks and kind regards
Sébastien

I don’t know why such an action isn’t available in the menu, but it seems that this functionality can be achieved by using two other available actions:

Add a "change value of single field" action (e.g., a technical attribute) to the menu button.
Add a “create task” action on item save, with an execution condition based on a specific value of that technical attribute.
