Task delegation

It could be useful to have delegation concept also for tasks in NWC, it should be done through the task dashboard or through API.

Delegation could be done by an administrator or by the assignee (it should be possible to disable this capability for the task assignee, like in on-prem version of Nintex Workflow)

    Task Assignees (including escalated users) can now delegate a task from My Nintex.

    In the coming weeks, we will be adding this ability for Business owners.

    Hi Giacomo,

    Thank you for your feedback! Task delegation is already in our backlog. I’ll update you as we progress this feature through.

    Any news on this feature? It's pretty important. Another scenario is for administrators to be able to replace a single assignee across all workflows or a list of selected workflows.

    If an employee leaves the company but is an assignee of many different tasks for different workflows, it would be nice to be able to replace them in all of those workflows in a single administrative action. Pretty common scenario.

    This is a high priority for our client and they are baffled that is it not possible for an Admin to reassign a task.
    It's been on the backlog for over 3 years, where is it on the priority list? When are we likely to see it?

    Any idea when in the next quarter this will be released. I have an SPO migration for one of our biggest sites going live in November and delegation is critical.

    FYI, this is on the roadmap for Q4 2021. https://community.nintex.com/t5/Roadmap/Nintex-Product-Roadmaps/ba-p/94755

    The details of what will be provided as "delegation" are unclear, and we have to wait for the feature release.

    would be great to have the business owner of the workflow ability to view and re-assign tasks as required within workflow tracking
