Hi Amal, Thanks for the suggestion. I have also considered that option. But I thought it had the following limitations: * When users are in different roles. Eg: "product lead" should take over when "team lead" is on vacation. But by default "team lead" shouldn't see all the tasks for "product lead" * Works when we want to specify 'candidateGroups' , but not when we need to specify 'assignee'
May be these limitations are fine for the current use-case. I am also still gathering requirements. I'll keep this as the preferred option. Just wanted to see what are the other options.
