Provide a rest API to combine the function of "Finish Task" and "Current State" APIs

Provide a rest API to combine the function of "Complete Task" and "Current State" APIs

Provide a rest API to combine the function of "Finish Task" and "Current State" APIs


When the Finish Task API returns status code 200, please make sure that the next task has been generated

When the Finish Task API is executed and the status 200 is returned, the Current State API is executed immediately, because of the execution time, the next task cannot be obtained immediately

Hopefully, when the Finish Task API returns status code 200, BPM has already generated the next TASK

    Sometimes we can not get a user of next task after the Finish Task API is executed and the returns code 200 is returned

    The client executes "Current State" process REST API (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/baw/20.x?topic=instance-get) right after "Finish Task" API (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/baw/20.x?topic=instance-put-complete-finish) in CSHS, and observes the response of "Current State" does not contain the expected task. Actually, the next task is not generated at that time. Unless the client inserts delay command to wait 1 second between "Finish Task" and "Current State", the response of "Current State" contains the next generated task information.

    The client wants to request new REST API or enhance the "Finish Task" API to combine the function of "Finish Task" and "Current State" APIs. The expected result is the next task has been generated when the "Finish Task" API returns status code 200.
