Totally agreed to this if it is in a WS-Human task context. We are considering User tasks in BPMN here. In Activiti there is no such notion as task status. There is no such status like "In progress". Once a task is assigned to someone, we have to assume that he is working on it. If we automatically reassign tasks to original user, it will be a mess. (eg: in call centers, user A assign his tasks to B and go out. B is on a call for a task came from B. While he is on call A comes back, tasks get reassigned back to him. He will make another call for the same task, since the task is not completed, complete mix up!!) I don't think we should automatically reassign without the assignee consent. If we really need, we can have a API that a user can retrieve his own tasks thet were substituted to someone else.
