This release introduces a new Assignee field type for Liferay Objects, enabling entry-level ownership and task assignment. With this field, object entries can now be assigned to Users or Roles, making Objects suitable for workflow-style, task-driven, and ownership-based applications.
Once assigned, the user or role automatically gains permission to edit the entry, even if they did not previously have it explicitly. This makes it possible to build review flows, approval processes, service desks, onboarding pipelines, partner applications, and more, all using native Objects.
Key Benefits:
- The Assignee field brings native task ownership to Objects, allowing teams to build assignment-based processes with automatic permissions, "My Entries" filtering, and full API and UI support. This reduces the need for custom logic, enables clearer responsibility tracking, and unlocks use cases like approvals, case management, service requests, onboarding workflows, and more.
