Adding Additional Assignee

[WFCEB]

Hello, Good da WF community. How can I assign an additional user to a task in Workfront Fusion without removing the original assignee?

Hi @WFCEB - 

The easiest way is to click into the Assignments box, from there you should be able to add additional names in the same process you added the first.

Hi @MorganHatcher  appreciate your response, but I was referring to Fusion module specifically on the Misc Module on how to assign user by not removing the overriding the assigned users.

Sorry about that, missed the word Fusion!

To understand this, objects have topmost references like assignedToID and collections like Assignments (all assignments including assignedToID). This is the same with categories, categoryID (topmost) vs objectCategories (All categories). This is why assigning someone to assignedToID will remove the previous assignment.

You can use the API to modify these or the MISC modules, I usually go with MISC because it is easier. The topmost ID in the array is the primary assignment, use a read module to read the task's primary assignee and add the new one below it. Leave roleIDs blank and it will auto add the roles to the task.
