https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1622/ivy-3-9-set-task-activator-on-a-unassigned-task<p>Hello</p> <p>We have unassigned Tasks.</p> <p>In our selfmade Administration Model - which does a couple of other things too - we have an Assignment function for Tasks. Neither the function setTaskActivator or delegateTask will assign the Task to the new user. There's no return value.</p> <p>When I do the function with already assigned Tasks, it works fine. When I assign Tasks thru the IVY Administrator, it's okay as well.</p> <p>Thank you for your help </p>enFri, 22 Jan 2016 16:23:50 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1622/ivy-3-9-set-task-activator-on-a-unassigned-task/1639<p>You need to prefix the user name with <code>#</code> if you use setTaskActivator():</p> <pre><code>task.setTaskActivator("#username") </code></pre> <p>To set the activator to a role this is not needed:</p> <pre><code>task.setTaskActivator("RoleA") </code></pre>Christian StrebelFri, 22 Jan 2016 16:23:50 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1622/ivy-3-9-set-task-activator-on-a-unassigned-task/1639
