Can you create/edit a variable based on the data given in the "Delegate Task" function in My Nintex?

When viewing a workflow in progress within My Nintex there is the option to “Delegate Task” if a user has not yet completed their task.  Can a variable be created or edited that can be referenced later in the workflow based on the name specified in the “Delegate Task” function?

Thanks

Hi @JC2,

 

Thank you for your great question.

Unfortunately, there is no variable to track delegation.

You can only use the current task variables, which show who responded to the task. If the task were delegated, the person who responded would be the person who had been delegated.
To know if a task was delegated, you could compare the initial assignee with the person who responded.

Thanks for your response.

To clarify: when you say “To know if a task was delegated, you could compare the initial assignee with the person who responded.” , you can’t do this actually in the workflow and use that information in another workflow action (eg. sending an automated email detailing who actually completed the task)?

If you use the Task responder variable from the task, you can use this in an email.
