Task Automations in Workflows/AutoTasks

[samwoo]

Good morning,

I would like to request for the ability to carry out Task Automations within all Workflows on Hornbill.

Application: Core
Scope: Entity
Entity: Task
Type(s): 

• Get Task Information
• Update Task

Task [Get Task Information]:

• Get Task Details
  • Task Source (BPM/Board Manager/User)
  • Task ID (If Task Node ID not specified)
  • Task Node ID (If Task ID not specified)
  • Outcome
  • Title
  • Details
  • Priority
  • Category
  • Created On
  • Created By
  • Start Date
  • Due Date
  • Progress
  • Assigned To
  • Assigned To Type (User/Group/Role)
  • Owner
  • Completed On
  • Completed By
  • Completion Details
  • Status
  • Time Spent
• Get Task Owner Details
• Get Task Assigned To Details

Task [Update Task]:

• Update Task Details
  • (Not for Tasks created via the BPM)
• Change Task Owner

Obviously, certain things cannot be done against certain Tasks, for example if they were created via BPM hence the inclusion of the Task Source. If a Task was created via the BPM, then they cannot be updated via the BPM (unless somehow they are included in Parallel Processing maybe?), but if it was created elsewhere such as via a User or via Board Manager, then we should be able to update them.

I know we already have an Application Utility to get the Task Node details, the above is really to place everything under it's own Application Scope.

Use Case:

To be able to maintain Tasks via the Workflow, mostly to be used within Auto Tasks, but the flexibility should be there to use some of the functionality with the BPM Workflows.

Using the Hornbill Roadmap Library as an example, I would like it so if a Task Card enters the 90-Day Commit Lane, it automatically updates the Task Due Date to 90 Days from today and assigns it to a Team (if not already specified).

This should complement this request nicely:
