Yes, even I expected the same. But it's not the case. When I see in the log, tasks are only delivered to B, not to
A.
Thanks,
Baba

Normally with workflow substitution, the documents will still route to A and B can pick them up. If you look at
the documents themselves, can you see whose inbox they are actually in?

Thanks Stephen.
Its user B substitues for A.
So, after date expiration, A should see all the workitems which were delivered to B during the substituion period.
This is not happening.
Thanks,
Baba

If user A is the substitute as your first sentence implies, then it would not remain in A’s inbox
after the expiration date.
However, your statements below are confusing because first you have A as the substitute, then B.

Not sure if this is how workflow substition works or I am missing something. Please advise.
User A substitutes for B for period 03/22 thru 03/25.
On 03/23 workflow finds agent A as approver for a task and delivers task to agent B as he is substitute.
Agent B, takes NO action on the task.
On 03/25, workflow substitution exprires.
On 03/26, task still appearing in Agent B's inbox whereas I was expecting it to appear in agent A's inbox as
substitution expired.
Thank you,
Baba
