<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Hi,<br>
yes, I do the same, but within the Rule resolution implementation I usually add a container-element ACTUAL_AGENT. With the workflow, I do the same, i.e. storing the _actual_agent of the recurring step into a separate container element ACTUAL_AGENT_OF_DECISION...
(or something appropriate) and pass this to the rule.<br>
<br>
The rule looks at first into the rule container, checks for the actual_agent element, and if found, it uses this one to the assigned agents and ends the processing,
<br>
otherwise the rule proceeds normally and find the group or whatever needs to be done.

I would use a container element Current_Agents for the agent and not <br>
use a default rule. <br>
Fill Current_Agents in a step or steps before the user decision. <br>
<br>
If a different container element, say Actual_Agent, is empty then have <br>
a step (which calls a task which calls a method that calls fm <br>
RH_GET_ACTORS which calls the rule) to fill Current_Agents, otherwise <br>
assign Actual_Agent to Current_agent. <br>
<br>
Actual_Agent is filled with the actual agent of the user decision step. <br>

I have a situation where I have a step (user descision) in the workflow <br>

Person A takes the task, chooses an option and the next step goes to a <br>
