I have a situation where I need the user completing the task to be logged to the DB. However, when a user is a member of a candidate group, they are presented with the option to complete a task before claiming it. If the user simply completes the task, the assignee field is left blank in the DB entry and I have no way of knowing who completed the task. Is there something I am missing? Should I submit a pull-request to invoke the claim task before completing?

Interesting. I just noticed that this behavior only happens when a form is not attached to a user task.

There was indeed a bug in this area that has been fixed recently. On the current master code, I wasn’t able to reproduce it, only the claim button is shown.
