    I know I'm probably asking for something that does not exist, but just so that I cover my bets -

    I have a flow that is initiated from three separate source - and within the flow I can know what that source is. Based on that source I have three different population of users who are assigned to three different tasks.

    Currently the flow branches based upon that source to three separate UserAction nodes. I'm wondering if anyone can think of a way to dynamically/programatically assign the task associated with a UserAction node?

    My issue is that this source could grow from 3 to 5 to 8 to 10 sources - and rather than going in and adding new branches and UserActions I would like to not have to change the flow if possible.

    Anyone have a creative way to do this?

      Well, you could route your UserAction to a User instead of a Task. You'd just have to maintain which user had what approval "task" based upon your source. You could still build this in PF Admin but use a query to figure out who you wanted to go to and send it to the user instead.

        David - that's why i really like you! Didn't think about that option at all - and definitely easy enough to build. You rock!
