To run the migration, you can either:
- Use the migration microflow 'ACT_Assignee_Migration' (also added to the 'WorkflowAdminCenter' page), or:
- Add the 'ASu_Assignee_Migrate' microflow to the project's after startup microflow to transfer to the new association 'UserTaskView_Assignees'.

We updated the user task page templates to include the message "You can only complete a task when you are the assigned user" that is displayed when you open a user task page and you are not the assigned user for this user task
- We optimized the 'Refresh' action that is used in the Task Inbox page. For this action we now use the 'Refresh entity' action that is available in the Nanoflow Commons module. This module is included by default when starting a new app. If your app currently does not include the Nanoflow Commons module, please make sure to import Nanoflow Commons from the marketplace when upgrading to v2.5.0 of Workflow Commons
- We upgraded the module to Mendix 9.19.0
- Attachments outside the scope of a comment now need to be part of your own domain model, and should be associated to the context entity of the Workflow. This is required so you can configure the applicable security settings, since the context of a specific. Workflow is not known in advance in Workflow Commons
- In Studio, attachments can be added using the ‘File’ property in the Workflow wizard
- In Studio Pro, attachments can be added using a specialization of System.FileDocument
- As a result: Attachments in Workflow Commons are now (an optional) part of comments. A migration microflow is provided that will create a comment for every workflow instance and link all its existing attachments. If your app requires migration, this option will be shown in the Workflow Admin Center. Until the migration has been executed, existing comments and attachments will not be visible in any of the included pages and snippets. Make sure to create a backup of your data before you execute the migration
- To increase the security of your app we updated the access rules for the WorkflowComment and WorkflowAttachment entities. Users can now only read comments and attachment for the workflows in which they are involved, i.e. they are either a targeted or assigned user in at least one user task of that workflow instance. Users can add new comments and/or attachments and update or delete their own comments as long as the Workflow is ‘In Progress’
