as you saw about the fact: When we have Step A followed by Step B

after completing Step A's workitem, without having to return to the
inbox, we must check the </SPAN></FONT> <FONT face=Arial

does not allow the dialog chain feature when Step B uses an async task. With an
async task, the indicator is always checked and grayed out, and I have to
go back to the inbox to execute Step B's workitem. I do not understand why SAP
has chosen to do it this way. (If the the </SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN

experimenting with the advance with dialog switch. Some parts of the sap
help indicate that this switch has it's effect on the next task however we see
that it has it's effect on the task it is activated (or deactivated) on.
Does somebody know if this behaviour been changed between the various
releases?</SPAN></FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><SPAN

<BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: sans-serif">The reason we've been tinkering
with it is the following: We have an (older) task in the system where this
switch has been activated on and we wish to deactivate it as it shouldn't start
immediately after the previous task. However this switch is grayed out in
change mode so we are unable to deactivate it. The only possible reason
(difference with others) we see is that this task executes an asynchronious
method. Anybody have an idea how we could manipulate the switch?
(without doing it on table level) Does anybody have a logical reason
for graying out this field?</SPAN></FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><SPAN
