Hi

I have a task create listener which auto assigns the tasks to available candidate group users is being fired during task creating time… all good…

But when the user releases(unclaim) the task, I want to have to fire the same listener to auto assign the tasks to other available users …

How to handle the unclaim event ,

please advice.

Hi,

Good point, I think we should add that feature.  
Could you create a Github issue so we can track this?

Best regards,

Tijs
