Error description
When you put an expression on an Action Arrow following a Task node it is supposed to decide if that choice gets presented to the User on the Complete Assignment dialog box. But it is not working. The choice is displayed to the user whether the expression evaluates true or false. I have tested and reproduced this in 7.1.1.6, 7.6.0.3 and 7.6.0.9. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new WF process for Workorders 2. Add a single Task node between the Start and the Stop nodes. 3. On the Task Node Properties dialog add a single Assignment to Role Originator. 4. Add a positive arrow from the Start node to the Task node. 5. Add both a positive and a negative arrow from the Task node to the Stop node. 6. On the positive arrow from Task to Stop add the Action WO APPR and set the Instruction to "Approve" 7. On the negative arrow from Task to Stop add the Action WO CANCEL and set the Instruction to "Cancel" 8. Also on the negative arrow Action Properites dialog box add this into the Expression field ":USER = 'SMITH' 9. Save, Enable, and Activate 10. If you had to Add WF Support to WOTrack then log out and log back in. 11. Logged in as WILSON, go to WOTrack. 12. Create a new WO and start it into WF. 13. Click Route WF to get the Complete Assignment dialog box. What you should see is just one choice, the Instruction to Approve, as you are not logged in as User SMITH. But now you see both Instructions. Please fix it so that only the Actions whose expressions evaluate to True are shown.
Local fix
You would have to redesign your process
