You might want to create task work items for new potential
owners, for example, when none of the current potential owners can
accept any additional work. You might also want to create task work
items if the query against the people directory does not return any
potential owners. This might happen, for example, in a long-running
process if the organization has changed since the process started.
Before you begin
To create a work item for a task instance, you must have the
appropriate role for the task. If you are the task administrator,
you can create work items for the task instance if it is in one of
the following states: ready, claimed, running, finished, or failed.
If the task instance is derived from a task template, you can also
create work items if the task is in the terminated or expired state.
