How to conditionally assign a flexi task to a group?

Hi all

I have a flexi task that should be assigned to one of three sharepoint groups depending on what the initiator has filled in the start form.

So I assumed:

- that I can use the "Set a condition" action several times

- then set a person / group variable equal the appropriate group

- and choose the variable as assignee in the flexi task settings

But if I run the workflow, it ends up in an error with the following message:

Error in task. User cannot be found.

If I assign one of the groups directly to the flexi task, it works...

Has anyone an idea, how I can achieve the conditional assigment?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your input, Marian. I have not tried your recommendation.

One of my colleagues figured out that it is possible to use a single line text variable. So setting this variable equal the group name and assigning the flexi task to it works.
