Error description

• When you reassign a task from one team or team member to a
  different team by using the reassignTo JavaScript API, the
  manager of the assigned team cannot manage the task in his or
  her IBM Process Portal Team Performance dashboard view and
  members of the manager team of the previously assigned team can
  still interact with the task.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The reassignTo JavaScript API only reassigns the task to the new
  team. It does not set the appropriate link to the correct
  manager team in the task database table LSW_TASK, which means
  the manager of the previously assigned team can still interact
  with the task.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix
  
  - is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 and
  - is planned to be included in a future IBM BPM V8.5.6.0
   Cumulative Fix
  
  that correctly links to the new manager for the task in the
  database when you use the reassignTo JavaScript API.
