Description

Performs an action defined in the request body on the task specified by taskId.

>> Task Actions

In addition to the complete action and in contrast to the corresponding underlying Flowable task actions, the following actions allow to apply changes to variables as well:

  • delegate
  • resolve
    Note: The specified values for the variables are updated even if the final resolving process fails.
