Is there a way to delete a user task?

Hi there! If you'd like to prevent more user tasks from being created, you can delete a user task block off of your workflows canvas, and no more tasks will be created. Once a task instance has been created, there is no way to delete it, but you can filter by date and by status in the task console and in your app queries. We might introduce behavior to delete tasks soon -- but our initial idea is that tasks provide a system of record similar to workflow runs on how a particular task was resolved and by who. Hope this helps!

Hi @lizzie

It would be great if the getUserTasks status filter could be made dynamic so I can allow users to set filters and see different actions by status:

Hi @lizzie
I know it's being a while you closed the acceptance of new beta testers, however we have a very specific use case for which we are using another platform at the moment, and we need to migrate. So we would like to evaluate Retool User tasks for that use case.

Could you please activate it for projectagora.retool.com ?

Thanks a lot

I appreciate your interest, @spirosc, but I don't think this particular feature is currently intended to support production use cases. I'll keep you in mind once we are actively developing and supporting it, though!
