This setting allows you to assign a user to a task automatically, without having the user take the task from the task dashboard himself. This can be useful when you have a long process where you want same person to finish it from start to end, or have him do a certain part of the process once he initiated the first task from that part.

You can select a contact (static value) in the dropdown, or use a computed property if you wan to use some variable parameter, e.g.: the executor of the previous completed task.

If the task would get assigned to a contact without matching execute permissions, then it will stayed unassigned.
