VariableAssignmentActionHandler

Description

This ActionHandler assigns a swimlane to a user, which has been given in form or by a process variable.

During process modeling, an assignment must still be given to the affected swimlane.

In order to assign the instance starter to a specific swimlane, the following handler may be employed: AssignStarterToSwimlaneHandler.

If you combine this actionhandler with the Connector GetUserByGroup via the Formdesigner, the parameter .label which gives the result as Firstname Lastname(username) cannot be used. Handler only works with the parameter .name which gives the result as username.
