Problem summary

• Problem Description:
  Enable triggering of all API Event Handler methods for tasks
  with parallel ownership.
  
  Problem Summary:
  Tasks with parallel ownership is an convenient way to create
  multiple identical tasks for scenarios like voting. Without
  this feature, client applications would need to use API calls to
  enable such scenarios. If using API calls, an API Event
  Handler would be invoked for each interaction. If tasks with
  parallel ownership are used, the interaction to create sub
  tasks, complete or terminate tasks is done internally. This does
  not trigger API Event Handlers.
  For certain scenarios, e.g. to keep a customer task table in
  sync with human tasks in the system, the current situation
  is not sufficient. They need API Event Handler calls to capture
  task changes.
  
  Problem Conclusion:
  After installing this interim fix, the customer might enable to
  get triggered for each interaction which happens for
  tasks with parallel ownership.
  To not change the behavior for current customers which might use
  the current limited set of API Event Handler triggers
  for their solution, this interim fix's changes need to be
  enabled:
  Create a human task manager custom property with name
  'APIEventHandler.AllEvents4ParallelRouting' and value 'true'.
  For a description how to create, modify or delete human task
  manager custom properties, please refer to:
